I use a 25 Gal Barker Tote Along 4 wheel version to empty my gray water. Filling it is easy, but I can never seem to get the tank completely empty using the side valve. I usually end up removing the hose and tipping the entire tank, moving it side to side.

Anyone have any methods to easily empty their tank?

I wouldn't want to have to use this procedure for black water!

I always just put fresh water in...and slosh it around good to rinse the tank a few times. There's a little risidual water in there when I'm done...but hopefully it is very diluted and not too polluted

This should be fine. Same with your RV tanks. There will always be a little left behind. A few rinses and move on.

No need to worry about a little bit left in there, gray or black. Just be sure to rinse it.
