If they are empty, just run a faucet and watch the monitor panel. When one reads 1/3 full, pull the handles one at a time.

The one next to the black tank will be the bathroom, the other the galley.

If you're using your sensors to determine which tank is which, 1st off good luck with them giving any useful information, see what they read before adding liquid to them to insure they actually move & at what level they are showing to begin with.
Had an old timer tell me to use Kool Aid, add 3-4 packets, no sugar required, of 1 flavor/color to 1 tank & a different flavor/color to the other then add a few gallons of water & open 1 valve at a time to determine which tank has which flavor/color Kool Aid. With this method if you have the same useless sensors as most rvs you'll have a back up plan. Be sure to mark them afterwards.

We have been doing this RVing yhing for about 12-13 years. Our first 5ver was a 6 year old used one and the sensors pretty much showed full all the time. I tried all the "Online Fixes" nothing really helped. We bought a new one in 2014 sensors read right for a trip or two then would show half full or something along those lines. Again I tried the fixes nothing really changed. I just looked at the In-Command display and Black shows 1/2, Grey 1 Shower shows 1/4, and Grey 2 Galley shows Full. I drained everything two days ago. You'd think that they would have figured out how to make these things work correctly after all these years. We employ the it's full when the water stops going down the drain method, then it's time to drain the two grey tanks and I have learned the sound that the black tank makes when flushing when it is time to dump.

The only tank monitor that works decent in my 21 is the fresh water. The blacks and 1 gray tank can vary day to day from empty to 2/3 with no input and being parked. Kitchen gray tank has never read since new, even after dealer “fixed” it….then again, they didn’t actually fix anything they were supposed to.

My Bullet has one black and two greys. The panel has two blacks and two greys. The first black (left to right) is active and the second black is non active and always shows empty. The first grey is the bathroom shower and sink. The second grey is the rear kitchen. It is as if you are looking at the trailer from the drivers side, holding tanks and indicators in a left to right sense. YMMV.
