how in the world does anyone get into a black tank without opening the dump valve? Climb up on roof and do through the vent?

Story doesn't make much sense...

If it was on a bus similar to the photo they'd of gotten diesel not gas & if a local commuter bus possibly natural gas if that were possible to siphon, but as mentioned there's no way to siphon the black tank other than the roof vent.
But it would be funny as hell & well deserved if it were possible!

Maybe we actually have a product here.. a fake gas fill cap that leads into the black tank... just don't forget where the real one is!

Around here they often just puncture the gas tank and put a bucket under (making a huge hazmat mess!). I could see someone going that with a black tank accidentally... so many tanks under a coach.

We should figure out how to disguise black tanks as catalytic converters.
