I have wondered the same thing, but then I came to realize that the factory
configuration is to our advantage. Since both tanks are interconnected, both
the engine and Genset have access to well over 1/2 the fuel capacity without
doing a thing. This is especially of benefit should the fuel selector valve
stop functioning while you are a long way from home.
In my situation, I will be installing 1 electric fuel pump per fuel tank and
removing the selector valve. I will be able run on either pump individually
or both pumps at the flip of a switch. This gives me a back-up pump should
one fail. By having the fuel tank filler pipes plumbed in the factory
configuration, both pumps will have access to well over half the fuel
capacity.

Subject: [GMCnet] Refueling Isolator valve
I was wondering if anyone knew of a company which makes a valve which would
allow me to isolate my fuel tanks from each other and have them fuel and
consume seporately? basically this could be a 1" vale I caqn plumb between
the fill pipe and the main and aux tanks effectively isolating them I would
like to fill my tanks seporately...
