ON my motorhome, the directions are 1 cup bleach per 20 gallons capacity, fill, drive around a bit and then let sit for 2 hrs, drain, fill/aggitate, drain, ready to use. Works fine on the boat too.
One hint ... I've used "bleach" out of my wife's laundry room, and I've used Chlorox. The later is far superior in terms of water quality after you flush. The year I used bleach, I was still smelling/tasting the stuff three months later. Tom Monroe 6219 Different Drummer >>> [EMAIL PROTECTED] 02/03/06 7:54 AM >>> Bleach. I don't have proportions (and they are important, since you want to kill bugs but not damage lines and pump seals), but in the past I've: - added diluted bleach to the tank, let it sit for a while - drain, repeat - drain, repeat - flush out at least 3 times completely with fresh water when you are done. There may still be a bit left, but when you are talking a few tablespoons over 10+ gallons, it will not hurt you even if it tastes a bit "bleachy".
