[QUOTE="Pappy, post: 176646, member: 3278"] Running two tanks in parallel does not work as well as we all would like it to. No matter what, fuel will be pulled from one tank faster than the other (path of least resistance) and the first tank to run empty or near empty will then allow the pick up to pull air which effectively shuts off fuel delivery from the other tank. As has been mentioned, shut off valves from each tank plumbed into a common supply line is the way to go. While you're at it install a fuel/water seperator. [/QUOTE]
