Don't worry, those winter 95 degrees will be there in a few months.

I have never purposely dumped enough antifreeze by volume to cover the dump valve, I think I'll start doing that.
Perfect! Thank you!

After I dump the tanks and get it home to winterize I will use 2 one gallon bottles of "rv antifreeze" and pour into each drain. Than I grab a 5 gallon bucket and put it under the dump value and drain the gray one more time. Discard that in my home toilet and leave the black alone.
