 Plumbing two fuel tanks?
I'm fixing to put another six gallon fuel tank in my boat my question is for those who run two fuel tanks how are they plumbing them? The only thought ive had is use existing fuel line and a t-fitting with on/off valves for each tank. Any help or pics on this is appreciated.

 Re: Plumbing two fuel tanks?
so your fuel lines run kinda like my drawing? and do you use the valves to only draw from one tank at a time right?

 Re: Plumbing two fuel tanks?
Would it hurt anything or is it possible to pull from both tanks at a time? I've thought about 2 tanks, and no valves, just pulling both tanks.

 Re: Plumbing two fuel tanks?
It will pull more from the tank with least resistance.

 Re: Plumbing two fuel tanks?
It would pull air. I wouldn't do it with out valves.
