Trojan F44. Fuel cross over valve

Post by Pcravens »

What does this valve do and what is it for. This boat has 4 tanks 2 main and 2 auxiliary. It has 2 fuel valves that can be off , main or auxiliary. And one on n off for the generator. And it has another one in the middle that has cross over on or off on it. Not sure what that valve does. Thanks

It is used so can pull fuel from the other side. Example: Open the cross over and close the port side valve and both engines would draw from the starboard side or vice-versa. In normal opp you would leave it closed (off)

If this is a diesel there is more to it. But again leave it closed.
