Hi,
can anyone tell me where's the best place to vent the fuel tanks on my 38 feet sailboat? Somebody at a marine store told me High on the transom but won't following seas send water in the tanks?
Also, if I'm putting in 2 tanks, I want 2 separate deck fills, 1 multiple tank draw valve to the engine and another multiple tank draw valve for the return (diesel), so that, when I switch tanks, I switch both valves? What about combining the vents to have only one thru the hull?
