Lubricating black/grey water valuves ?

[Bud]

Has anyone ever had a valve stuck that did lubricate with mineral oil or a commercial product?

I don't recall anyone having a problem that lubricated with mineral oil or a commercial product.

This is the type. I’ve been converted to... It lasts longer on moving parts, etc... try it, you’ll like it..!

This "drill the hole" technique looks like an excellent plan. Makes a lot more sense than mineral-oil in the tanks.

Ok then, olive oil or commercial product sold for lubricating gray and black water tanks?

Thank you for everyone's reply ! I am already trying vegetable oil and if that doesn't work I may see if I can drill and tap the valves. Sorry for spelling the work "valves" wrong in the title line.... I should really proof read my work !

I agree, this looks like an excellent idea and mahes a lot more sence (to me) than dumping food oil in the tank and hoping it reaches the point that binds up.
