I’ve always fancied getting this picture for the wall as my grandad flew B24’s during the war. There’s a lot going on in the picture, so I could stare at it for hours. It’s the Americans over Ploesti
You have a soakaway and you still need to get it emptied?
Our one in France has yet to be emptied! It exits to a pipe which goes 250 feet and then joins the "mains drain" which isn't really hence we were obliged to put in a septic tank.
We had it inspected last summer and it was deemed OK. It went into the ground in 2008.
Admittedly we don't use it all year round, But there are two of us and, Covid and Brexit permitting, we have been there six months every year since 2015.
Friends in the village, who are there far more than us and had their house built by the same people as us, at least a year before ours, have also never had theirs emptied. And theirs exits like yours under the land in a typical crowsfoot.

27 to 29 January.
Aha! Funny you should ask!Still have a certain amount of solids build up.
We had ours emptied for the first time after 10yrs, then again after a further 4yrs? The only reason we figured was.
1. I retyred
2. 1 summer was particularly wet so the walnut tree didnt need as much fluid.
The tree sits right next to it and produces lovely nuts (according to the locals who collect them) always holds it leaf longer than the others. Ours is an old concrete box in the ground which is probably very leaky.
Yours drains to the main drain? why have it? the tank will never fill if its draining to a main drain but will if the "soakaway" cant soak away if the soil wont take it.

Really? Never knew that!The National set-up for septic tank sewage in France is very different to the UK. Go to any supermarket in France and you will see an abundance of sanitary items suitable for 'septic tanks' - bog roll, chemicals for cleaning etc. - and this makes the biological action work well so you should never need to empty the tank. In the UK, shops do not have the items - unless you go to the Leisure Industry (camping/caravanning etc.) places and they sell small quanties with large prices. Because most of these sites are rural and do not, generally speaking, have mains drainage, then they have to make sure their tanks work biologically or they, too , would have to pay for tanker removal.
No Disco neeva, but then I don't think they make miniatures of them!No freelander?
Well I have just googled it and yes they do make ones of Discos!Nor a rangie either! I have yet to find a model of the more comfy LR products.
