Now that's an interesting idea.� Why not just put two separate fuel fillers in the side of the coach right by each tank?� It would save all the plumbing, some of which goes into the passenger compartment.� It would be just like a Ford pickup.� Probably more complex than I think, but it might work.

If I could find the valve to do it, I would like to add a valve to the fill line so I could have two isolated systems. I haven't found one yet that I can conveniently fit in there.

Someday, I'll have to re-work the fuel vents to be gasohol friendly. That will probably happen the next time I have the fuel tanks down for a hose change and revision. This foamy stuff is a real pain.
