Why was the tank still 20% full? And with what? I would do a lot
flushing before taking a tank out of service, and probably fill it
with something anti-microbial.

Believe it was like that when boat was purchased used around 2002. I
can't remember if the hose to tank from toiler was disconnected & capped
after the 'Y' valve...or the 'Y' valve simply put in the thru-hull
flushing position permanently. The boat was manufactured in Quebec
where holding tanks/pumpouts are used.
