Author	Topic:   28 Outrage Fuel Draw
01bwo	posted 09-23-2003 07:30 AM ET (US)         Hi. I recently bought a 28' Outrage. The twin 225's only draw fuel from the port side tank. I have not run the port tank totally dry in order to see if it will tap into the starboard but I cant believe that such a finely designed boat would function that way. Any tips, or possibly a transfer valve that I have over looked?

For example, on a Whaler 27 with 3 tanks that I examined recently, there are two fuel pickups in each of the tanks. One pickup in each of the tanks is connected to a port side three way valve. The other pickup in each of the tanks is connected to starboard side three way valve. The port side three way valve is connected to the port motor and the starboard side three way valve is connected to the starboard motor. With this arrangement, each motor can draw fuel from any of the three tanks depending on how the valves are arranged. There is no automatic switching, it must be done manually.
