I wonder if it has enough liquid to cause a tank overflow. Let's say just dump drinking water into the tank...

It seems very likely to me that they carry more than 1L of fluid per passenger, plus there's also the crew. So yes, they could :)

Of course, if they dump all their drinking water, it'll be hard to reach the maximum pee capacity per passenger. But you could always resort to dumping food.

Each one of us carries about 5L of fluid... it's just kind of mission-critical.
Well, if we go down that route, you could just as well dump a few passengers down there. But I guess that wasn't the spirit of the above question :)

Allthough the motivation for overfilling a plane waste tank seems dubious overall, so who am I to judge.

I'm thinking about the alcohol and soft drinks on plane. But maybe they don't have much on board.
