fuel system question

[BASRX71]

I have a johnson faststrike j150 gled on a 1986 baja fish and ski 200.the boat has two fuel tanks.the port side tank is disconnected.and the starboard tank is connected.i want to replace all of the fuel lines and hook these tanks up correctly but im not sure how its supposed to be. i need a diagram from tanks to motor if that is possible. any help would be greatly appreciated.

also... not sure if im in the right section.sorry if im not.

thanks, ben

Re: fuel system question

1st you have to decide if you want it to run on one tank, then the other. or both tanks at once. i prefer running one at a time.

Re: fuel system question

Ben, You will want to have a shut off on each tank or alternatively, a selector valve. Without these fittings, as you run a tank down, the motor will suck air, which is very bad.

Re: fuel system question

And make sure you use the new A-1/15 rated 3/8" ID hose. A shut off on each tank is easiest. Then each tank is hosed into one of the inlets on the filter / seperator. Make sure you have a 10 micron filter.

I would like to run each tank seperately but i just dont know where to begin.or what parts i should buy? i want to replace everything because i think i have a leak somewhere thats sucking air into he fuel system.
