How do you clean the level probes on a black water tank?

I have tried filling with fresh water and flushing but the probes must have paper or waste stuck to them causing them to show a false level.

I saw an article in an RV forum about installing water jets for cleaning but is there no suitable fluid to do the job ?

Laughing That's a very good question Jim lad. Laughing Different Forums have different remedy's for this. From a high pressure hose to filling with soao solution and going for a quick run over the mountains. Shocked I have mentioned on a US forum that I personally thought the lights were to show off to visitors. Laughing They never seem to work after they have left the forecourt and start to be used.IMO.

one of the american sites suggests putting 20 gallons of water in plus a pile of ice cubes, then going for a bumpy ride.
