[C320-list] Swtiching between fresh water tanks

[David Veeneman]

Thanks, Dave. As the new owner of a 1994 C320, that’s going to help me learn my water system.

Both tanks feed to a common line and each tank has its own shutoff valve on the tank (not very convenient). Like John Dean described, I find that if I leave both tank valves open, when the forward tank runs dry the port side tank acts like it's empty too (apparently the system sucks air) even though there may be plenty of water in the port tank.  So, I pump water first from the v-berth tank and keep the port tank valve closed until I start to lose water, then I close the forward tank valve and open the port tank valve.
