Ugh! Da*n! As indicated before I got the vent line cleared. I was all ready to install the new filter and carry merrily on when I thought to myself, "you know, you'd better give it a flush before you hook it up just incase there's a little liquid in that 10" of hose between the tank and filter. Which I proceeded to do. Whereupon waste began gushing right out of the drain hose, on top of the tank, down the sides, into the bilge, and a lot more places besides. And gushing. And gushing. Yuk. Ewww. Now I have a tankwatch system with empty / mid / full indicator lights, and it indicates the mid level. Am I right in thinking that the tank is actually full to the top, and that's what's causing waste to exit the vent line? Or what else would cause that to happen? Help!!

The "full" indicator probe is probably gunked up, covered in TP, etc. Clean it off very well (don't you love these systems?) and see if that fixes it. I don't have an indicator on my PE tank. I can usually just look down there and see the level. Sometimes a flashlight pressed against the top of the tank is needed. Of course, the tank could have been overfilled in the past and pumped out, leaving that cr@p in the vent line.
