"One thing on my list now is to install a return line from one side to the other."
The better technique is a genuine ganged fuel valve that has the ability to switch both the fuel supply and return . No thinking , no problems.
A. Tank isolations valves.
B. cross connect valve to keep the fuel levels equal, shutting this valve when there is contaminated fuel in one tank
C. a fuel return valve from each engine and generator to both tank you wish. Will help with trimming the boat. If it was necessary to isolate a tank due to contaminated fuel, you want to be able to return the clean fuel to the supply tank.
Of course we did not install the valves necessary for the fuel polishing system.
I think that does it.
