Why not have the engine feed come off one tank with parallel filters (if one plugs, switch to the second) and have the genset come off the other tank, then use a crossover? Gets rid of all those valves and the crossover will keep them level.

Tanks are just for storage, there is no need to draw off both tanks for the main engine?

Tank, valve, filter, filter, valve, engine. Return to either tank. Other tank, valve, filter, valve, return.
Valves on either side of the filter to isolate them so no air can get into the system while changing filter elements. Crossover with a valve at each tank.
