if that's the case, leaving both taps there before the filter open might allow them to equalise at that point as long as that filter is below the fuel levels, saving rigging up yet another connection. Have you tried that? After all, it might be why the PO didn't have a problem..? Then the return fuel line going to just one tank would not matter either, as they would just equalise as you go along.
Don't think this will work either as the fuel lines exit the top of the tanks - at least I've never seen it do it on mine...
That is irrelevant, as the fuel pick-ups should go down to near the bottom of the tank, and siphon effect should take care of the rest, just as long as the primary filter, where the two shut off valves are situated, is well below the usable fuel level, I would think.
