Fuel management (diesel)

Postby pondiscio@gmail.com » October 20th, 2022, 8:42 am

I thought Id ask the group before crawling all over my boat tracking down hoses... Transfer Valves. ... In the aft cabin closet there are 4 transfer valves. I cannot find in the 430 owner's manual which transfer valve is for which tank and they are not labeled. They appear to be OEM. Does anybody know which valve is for which tank? and which position they need to be in for normal operation?

Quick Update. I crawled all over my boat and traced all the fuel lines. I have determined the valve positioning for Primary and Aux tank fuel flow. It was worth the time as I was able to determine the valve arrangement on the main tanks and found the transfer pump seals were leaking. Ill add pics in a followup post.

I can just hear you saying ..." Where the heck did I put that label maker!!".... :-D
FWIW.....The above is just my opinion.
