1985 M 39 DC gas tank selector
Posted: Mon Jul 29, 2019 4:34 pm
Hello All,
Still learning the system of my M39DC. When fueling up I always have equal amounts of gas into both tanks. I noticed that the port tank is reading 3/4 full and the starboard tank is 1/16 full or less yesterday. The tank under the bed looks like one big tank but with two opening for gas on deck I would assume two tanks below. I can tell the boat has a slight list to port I am assuming from the port gas tank. There are three gas valves in the engine compartment with all three inline and open. So, question is to my fellow Big M's, what am I missing? Does the port tank free flow to the starboard? Could the fuel pickup in the port tank be faulty or some other item that I am missing? Thanks in advance. Photo of gas valve is hopefully attached.
