thought???

this fuel valve is really tickin me off, i switched tanks today goin down the highway and you could feel the truck begin to wind down for a couple seconds while it tried to transfer... Can i do this?????


Take a feed hose from bottom of front tank to bottom of top tank, AND do the same top to top, to have a single siphon dual feed fuel system???????

and if i am thinking wrong just tell me i am an idiot and slap me around a little

I wouldn't have nothing sticking out the bottom of my tanks... To much risk of it getting knocked off.

i have black and 2 kinds of smokeless pistol.....

i am to the point that i am ready to join the tanks top and bottom, let it pull off of both.
bypass the switch valve, pull from front, return to rear and tie them together between the bottoms to let it have equal level in both and have a full time working fuel gauge

I have three excavators, a backhoe and a couple of dozers.

Wanna play hide and seek?

I hide stuff real well.

i gave up on my rear tank and ran a new return and feed lines from the motor to only the front tank, i keep the front tank selected at all times for a correct fuel reading it works fine this way. but if yer not willing to give up the use of one of the tanks then this won't work for you
