Swapping fuel tanks

I have three 6 gallon tanks, two under a seat and one under the motor at the transom. I want to be able to switch between these tanks without having raise the seat and swap the hose, or in case of the transom tank, swap it out with one of the empty tanks under the seat. I guess I need to have some kind of a manual fuel tank selector valve but have not had much success searching for one. Does anyone have any ideas or info on where to find a tank selector valve or how I can set up to swap these tanks as described above? Thanks!

Brad – I’m sorry I didn’t see your post when originally put up. A simple 3-way ball valve will fulfill your needs. They are commonly available. Made by several companies, one in particular, Conbraco/Apollo makes a lot of valve stuff used on boats.<br /><br /> http://www.conbraco.com/products/ball/indexbal.html
