Re: Fuel transfer line
Because the generator draws fuel only from the starboard fuel tank, the fuel
levels in the tanks may become unequal. If this occurs, open the fuel equalization valves, located on the bottom near the aft center of each tank. When
the fuel levels are equal, close the valves.
Always close both fuel equalization valves when you are not equalizing
the fuel levels in the fuel tanks. If one of the valves developed a leak while
open and unattended, fuel could spill into the engine room undetected,
creating a hazardous condition

Re: Fuel transfer line
BTW, it wouldn't be that big a deal to install a transfer pump, then you can control which way you want the fuel to go. The hardest part would be running the wiring.
