We can completely empty the tanks LOL......

I sticked the starboard tank when this happened and the stick came out completely dry LOL. You could hear it echo when I tapped it in there.

The port tank had ~25 gallons left when i sticked that one.

I noticed this fuel draw "issue" when we fueled her up after running her back from Chatham when we brought her home. The starboard always takes more fuel.

You can run on isolated sides but we always run with the y-valve open to draw from both. The boat has always been run this way by the first owner as well.

All the fuel, vent, and return lines were changed last year. So there is either a very small blockage of some sort or something else causing more "resistance" on the port side, hence less fuel draw. Path of least resistance!

LOL

Sat. night we got to find out what i always wondered about what would happen if the starboard tank ran dry LOL.
