Please tell me it's NOT an UNvented bladder...'cuz CG regs require that
all sewage holding tanks be vented to the outside the boat. Reason:
methane is flammable, and the anaerobic gasses--hydrogen sulphide and
sulphur dioxide--generated by the waste in the anaerobic environment of
an unvented tank are toxic, even lethal in high enough concentration.
