waste tank valve & cable lubrication

[guliver]

I have a Laredo with an enclosed under belly and have had trouble opening the the Black/grey cable operated waste water gate valves. Is there a way to lube the cables and keep the valves operating? Thanks in advance

Hi,
I have a Montana and too have had a cable that was somewhat hard to pull.
I ended up having to remove the cable and reroute them from behind the panel where the cable was mounted. I then lubricated the cables with a lubricant I got from a local motorcycle dealer. The cables now have internal lubrication and do move easier. I also treat the tanks with a solution of canola oil and water softner. Everything in the black tank move smoothly. The canola oil lubricates the slide in the valve. Good luck

Hey, JRTJH -

What kind of olives does canola oil come from????? . . .

Sorry to those who are newer, this humor goes back a few years.
