I have a question regarding the plumbing system on
our 59 Ambassador International. The black water tank is located under a step
below the toilet. There is a brass handle behind the toilet on the floor
which is connected to the black water tank. This handle rotates 360 degrees
and also goes up and down like a pump or a plunger. It doesn't seem to do
anything however I'm sure it was put there for a reason. Could it be part
of the original dump valve? There is a modern dump valve on it now so
possibly it is redundant. Does the whole brass housing unscrew out of the
top of the FRP tank? I would like to clean out the tank and this looks
like it could be great access if I can get it open.
Thanks,
Colin Hyde
