Iow, you're saying that in Canada there is no "3 mile limit" in coastal
waters...that raw sewage may be discharged directly overboard from the
toilet and holding tanks may be dumped anywhere in coastal Canadian
waters except in those areas specifically designated "no discharge?"

Kinda, I think...What I'm saying is that the "Type I" Type II" and "Type III"
are purely American designations - they have no legal definition in Canada (or
other parts of the world).

This is why a Raritan treatment system doesn't make much sense in Canada: "raw"
and "treated" sewage is the same.

I'd check the Canadian regs to see what and where dumping is legal. I know what
you say is true for Georgia Strait: No dumping ANYTHING in the "no discharge"
zones, but you can empty your holding tank (raw or treated) in Georgia Strait.

Actually, Type I and II MSDs are clearly defined in ISO rules, which are
the regs for most of the world--and US regs conform to ISO rules...in
fact are the basis for many ISO rules that US rules pre-date. So while
"Type I and II MSD" may not have any meaning in Canada, they most
definitely do in most other parts of the world that have marine
sanitation regs.

I installed a backlight for the present tank, this shows the level clearly.

Note in particular that you NEED a means of determining the level in the tank,
and a flame-arrestor on the vent tube.

Sounds like a good idea. What did you use for the light?
