Spilled Dish Soap into Gray Water Tank - An Issue?


AK_Kid

Recommended Posts

So, we place an entire container of dish soap in the sink before heading down the road.  When we reached out destination, we realized its entire contents had spilled out into the sink.  The good news is that the RV smells of freshly picked apples.  The bad news is that its because there is now a quart of dish soap in the gray water tank.  

So, is this an issue?  Should I just dump the tank tomorrow, then run water through it until the froth stops?

Any advice will be appreciated.

Welcome to the forums!

 

Not a bad thing to happen, it may actually help clean grease and residue from the tank. It may help to run a gallon of water in that drain to flush the soap from the "P" trap. Leave the soap in the tank until it's nearly full before draining the tank to realize the greatest benefit.

If the OP doesn't dump before traveling the next time I can see a lot of soap bubbles coming out the gray tank roof vent!  Might need some Don Ho music to follow along!

I always pour some anti bacterial Dawn dish soap in my black tank every time I travel. I just flush out the tank when I get to my new location. The gray tank gets soapy water from the kitchen sink every time I wash the dishes. Best way to clean out your tanks and prevent odor.
