If your fuel supply system is in good condition you will have no problem switching between tanks. Two problems that I have experienced are the original tank selector solenoid valve failed with the rubber tip frozen blocking the Aux tank line. The other was the sock in the Aux tank was plugged. If you are using a one-way valve with electric fuel pumps, be sure the flow is in the correct direction. The Aux tank should function the same as the main tank as far as fuel supply, they are common above a 1/4 tank. The GMC always presents many learning opportunities.

I guess every coach is different, but I've NEVER experienced any issue due to changing the tank selector valve at ANY level of fuel. I do it often
due to the having my electric pump switched with my aux tank.
