My tanks were mislabeledJim,
We have a 370FB, it seems like the rear, black tank flush is not filling the tank. When connecting and starting the flushing process, I can hear a noise I believe to be from the front tank area, and only get water flow, after running the flush, from the front tank, based on handle I'm pulling. Is there something I can check without returning to the Dealer? I don't see any leaks from the bottom of the camper. Could it be a pressure related problem? I have been using the sprayer connection on the Nautilus panel, like our Dealer's Tech showed us, so the water flow is coming from our restricted 45 psi system, then through the sprayer connect and blue coiled hose which both would restrict water flow, into the flush inlet. Thank you for all you do. We love our Alliance.
Yes, mine were also mislabeled. Caused quite a few issues until resolved.My

@Hemimedic37 - I wouldn't be too fearful of using campground pressure for the black tank flush, so long as it's not greater than 60 PSI or so. Most aren't. That said, I don't believe this is part of the issue you're having.Jim,

Mine were mislabeled as well and the black tank valve was stuck open.
Here's what I use for helping flush all the tanks, including grey.

Yes, I've done this on previous coaches. I prefer the 3" slip x 3" slip - glue-in style valve.... Discussion w a Pinnacle owner 3 sites down where he told me first thing he did w the Jayco was to put a manual shutoff at the end. Anybody make a modification of that kind? Not a lot of pipe length there to cut off and glue to, but thinking i need to give it a whirl.
Here's what I see from the corp website for the 370FB:I am a new owner of a 370FB, which has 2 black tanks. Are the tanks the same size and if not, what size are they? Normally, I would use a flow meter and fill the tanks and let head pressure clean out what it can as well. So knowing the size of the tanks and filling them with water is a must. If the tank sizes are different, then I will attempt doing this, based on the volume of the smaller tank. Please advise.
I will be definitely making the "Rinsed separately Mod"! I noticed that the rinse flow appeared weak in terms of volume. Let me know if we can get a confirmation on both tanks "actually" being 53 gallons. I guess I am a fan of filling the tanks and using head pressure along with rinsing with the spray system. Thanks.Here's what I see from the corp website for the 370FB:
98 / 106 / 106 Gal
FRESH/GRAY /BLACK
From that, I'd say each black tank is 53 gallons. Also, to the best of my knowledge, the black tank rinse water inlet is plumbed to both black tanks. Some owners have done a modification that allows for each black tank to be rinsed separately.
I've submitted a request to the GM for Paradigm to confirm the 370 FB has 2 ea 53 gallon black tanks. I'll report back to this thread with confirmation when I receive it.I will be definitely making the "Rinsed separately Mod"! I noticed that the rinse flow appeared weak in terms of volume.

As a 370FB owner as well, where can one find more information on the "Rinsed separately Mod"I will be definitely making the "Rinsed separately Mod"!
