Hello ALL,
is there a USCG regulation or prohibition on installing a "fuel balance line" in a boat with twin fuel tanks?
I've heard "yes" and I heard "no".
The yes and the no could be on a USCG "inspected" passenger vessel or "other".
What's the scoop?
On my "virtual DE build" the particular hull my require twin fuel tanks.
I like simplicity and would want to install a 3/4" or 1" balance line with shutoff valves @ the aft bottom of the tanks.
Any knowledge on this out there??
btw, my build would be non-commercial/non-6 pack charter but obviously on a resale don't want anything installed on the boat to impede a sale.
Appreciated, Bill D
