More specifically, where do you insert the silicon? I removed the back cover in the stowage area and can’t find where I could inject the silicon. I’ve attached a pic to show what I’m seeing.

Other contributors had mentioned injecting Calgon liquid detergent.

I just pull the tank dump handle out and force it past the exposed solid end. It will take 2-3 applications but it did work for me.


Supposedly a motorcycle cable luber will work, but I found that the common ones wont unless you actually pull the cable off - and if you do that, might as well just replace the valve and cable, rerouting it straighterso spent my $$ for nothing.


Someone here made up a rod operating valve system - and that sound like a good way to go. Veggie oil and silicone will work for me until it wont.
