It seems like there is a definite possibility you could overfill your black tank, like if you "forgot" you were backfilling. What happens exactly?

Yes if you forgot, it would eventually overfill the black tank and rise out the toilet. This would probably take about a half hour. You don't need to fill the tank up or even get close to that. I just turn it on and wait by the monitor and keep checking till it gets about 2/3 full. Flush and fill again till about 1/3. Flush and stay outside and just try to fill the bottom of the tank ( about a min) then empty. Just don't turn it on and get involved in something else!

Since there is really no way to prevent over flow other than to monitor what you are putting into your tank the best way is to time it when you tuen it on. Find out how large your tank is and then the average flow from your hose is about 4 gallons per minute you can prevent a nasty mishap.I usually let mine run for 4 minutes approx. 16 gallons then let it sit for a while, drain and continue I am satisfied it is as clean as I am going to get it and this prevents having something else you need to clean up later. Hope this helps.

I only back flush for 2mins and repeat several times until water runs clear. Sure, if you let it go, I imagine you would have a major problem somewhere. I love the Flush King. It works great and leaves tanks relatively odor-free.

Yes, that could happen, you must estimate how much water you are backfilling and stop prior to it being full.

did you put in too much oil? if you overfill, you can't do it-- need to leave a lot of head space...

This usually happens if you don't have enough water in the tank for the amount you're making. If the steady drip turns to a sputter and you start hearing steam being expelled, you've brewed too long.

Don't believe so as there are warnings against leaving out too long. There is a certain amount of pressure relief and a caution to leave some space in the bottle, not fill it all the way up.

It seems that if you overfill the fuel tank, the gas makes it's way into the vent and and then drains thru the hose back into the air cleaner assembly. Not the greatest design, but I drained some fuel from the tank and now the problem is solved.. Thanks for you input anyhow.

Sorry, I can't give you an answer as we live and travel full time in our RV & we dump our black tank every week. If you are asking about putting it in before you store your RV, I think that it would be fine AS LONG AS YOU DUMP AND CLEAN your black tank before storage. I would add at least a gallon or two of water along with the happy camper.

If you have the hose connected to the sewer cap and your gray tank open so as to drain through the hose to the ground or into a container, but have your black tank closed, absolutely not. If you have the valve closed to any tank, there is no way for other tanks to have their contents migrate to another tank.

Make sure you aren't putting too much water in. I tend to overfill mine and I have a watery mess when I do. There's a fill line and you can't go even the littlest bit over that.

This can happen if you fill the tank without leaving a hot water faucet on to allow air to escape tha tank.

The little black tube going into the flush valve must have a hump in it to break the siphon from the tank. If it goes straight from the ballcock downhill into the flush valve it will siphon and cause your every 15 minute refill.

there is a cheap in the rear side of tanks similar to what you can find in credit cards with two round pads. In order to reset the cheap you need to short circuit these pads by a conductor for example a forceps.

I can't believe you asked, the other suggestions of having overfilled it is most likely what happened.

I've never experienced this problem with mine. I just make sure I don't exceed the "MAX FILL" line.

Excess water could mean you are overfilling the tank. This has happened with another brand of steam mop I have had.

No, the tank will not overfill. It has a float in place to stop the water when it gets to full.

I started having that issue when I first got this. I realized my problem was overfilling. The liquid level needs to be around the level stated in the instructions. Once you get an idea of where that is using the funnel, you can eyeball it from that point and you should not have anymore problems.

I overfilled mine and it had some problems right after, but once it had dried the problems resolved themselves. Before it dried out I thought I had ruined it.
