It seems to confirm my suggestion of temporarily removing it, and I note the comment from "Mike" saying a blocked breather is a possibility. I wonder if the previous owner left the tank full of waste for a long time, allowing some gunge to build up in the breather pipe - which will (most likely) be of a small diameter, and easily blocked. If Ian can't find the problem, at least you should have a "work round" until you can get MB back to the dealer.Dave Wardnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4169865556277364121.post-74397918353479466852021-05-20T17:21:00.937+01:002021-05-20T17:21:00.937+01:00Hi Pip and Mick,

Not a typing error, more like me not reading the pamphlet properly. I will amend the post.

It seems strange that when we use a sink plunger and force air down, the water drains away which still suggests this is the problem. We may be having a 'lazy day' on Sunday, so this could give Ian the opportunity to delve deeper. Thanks for the information though, if we find out what the problem is I will let you know.Ian and Irene Jameisonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15619780891302537493noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4169865556277364121.post-4568488726278891732021-05-20T17:01:38.054+01:002021-05-20T17:01:38.054+01:00If waste water isn't flowing in or out of the ...If waste water isn't flowing in or out of the holding tank, it suggests that a tank vent pipe (assuming one is fitted?) could be blocked. If there is an easily accessible "P trap" (or syphon) under the kitchen sink, try removing it and see if this helps with draining the tank and getting rid of waste water from the shower.Dave Wardnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4169865556277364121.post-23833532443712431132021-05-19T23:38:30.209+01:002021-05-19T23:38:30.209+01:00Glad to hear you are enjoying my home city of York...Glad to hear you are enjoying my home city of York.

It turned out to be a blocked tank breather pipe. This prevented the air in the tank escaping as we tried to add our waste water to the tank. Hope this might be useful. <br /><br />Mike<br />Nb DuxllandynNb Duxllandynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18335431657934300680noreply@blogger.com
