Re: Carver 506 fuel leveling system between tanks
- Fuel selection/source valves allow you to select which tank either engine will draw fuel from. You can use this to direct both engines to draw fuel from the tank that has the most fuel, then return the valves back to the position that directs each engine to draw from it's own tank. These can be located in several locations; engine bay, aft cabin closet, under a step in the cabin or aft deck, etc. Always return the valves to a position that isolates the tanks from each other.
- Some applications have a fuel transfer pump that you can operate to transfer fuel from one tank to another. Look for a pump that has fuel lines going to each tank

Re: Carver 506 fuel leveling system between tanks
I hope to get back to the boat in the next week or two. Just went through Hurricane Florence in New Bern, NC and no power to the entire city and marina...
