Default Fuel tanks on 31 ft 98 American Offshore

Anyone know the setup of the fuel tanks? Capacity and how to switch between tanks etc. Any help appreciated.

Don't you just hate having to fill up from each side. Fueling hose just is not that long to make it to the other side. I have been thinking about having an extension made for filling the starboard side from the port side. Basically having two fills on the port side. Why the port? My truck fills on that side.

Interested? Back to the original questions. To my knowledge, no Chris Cat, AO or Awesome have any "link" between the fuel tanks. At least in stock original form. Balance tube, transfer tube/pump, etc.

I am able to fill from both sides at stations that don't have staggered pumps, otherwise I fill one then pull ahead and fill the other side....
