Hello All,
I have a 2001 Carver 356 and I find is incredibly strange that the generator is setup so that it always draws fuel from the port tank only. My boat as an aux fuel tank under the swim platform and it just makes sense that the generator should get its fuel from there to prevent imbalance from running generator. Both propulsion engines have a fuel selector valve to select either main side tank or aux tank, but generator is always port tank. Why?!?!?!

I was thinking of re-configuring this by adding a third fuel selector valve for the generator to select aux or port tank. Is there any reason for not doing so? Common sense is telling me that I would need to install another fuel line, pickup tube, and anti-siphon valve on the aux tank to prevent fuel starvation by tapping into existing fuel line. Is this correct? Any thoughts?
