I have 2 tanks to go under my floor. One being twice the size as the other. I am going to use the smaller tank as a reserve, but as my motor is a large Mariner it doesn't have a fuel conector (the fuel pipe goes straight on to the engine). What I am after is a change over switch to go from main to reserve if I need to without the need to disconect the fuel line from the engine.
Anyone know of any inline fittings with a selector tape, to select main tank, reserve tank, fuel off? or any other sugestions.
Obtain a three way brass/bronze/stainless cock from your nearest chandlers with a bore to suit your fuel lines,sometimes known as a T valve.put some hose tails on,mount it where ever, and plumb in. You can even mount it so as only the lever of the valve/cock is showing.hope that helps

We have a simple stainless manifold 3 inlets and 2 outlets each inlet is switched tro an inline valve, we can run each tank dry and close its tap, it is manufactured very easily, I will get you a pic cheers gavin
Nip into your local chandler and ask them to order this from Aqua Marine.
3-Way Valve (Reference 65137)
1/4" NPT Female - Brass. For connecting two permanent tanks to a single motor. Provides withdrawal from one tank at a time.
