I have been fighting with an occasional bad smell from the head holding tank after flushing. I have determined through trial and error that the smell is venting from what I believe to be the vacuum release valve on the top of the tank. When the tanks are pumped out, this rubber flap allows air to flow into the tank, ensuring the tank does not collapse. This rubber flap should otherwise remain sealed. However, right now when the head is flushed, I can smell immediate purge of fumes from this vent.
So, my question to the group .. has anyone else had this problem? Have you tried cleaning it as a fix? Can it be fixed or is it that the rubber is fatigued and needs to be replaced? If so, how in the heck do you remove it and where can you get a replacement?
Any suggestions / help much appreciated!!
