I'm getting ready to finish my install. I have eliminated my front tank complete and will use the fuel cell as the only tank. Are there any additional steps I need to take?

Too easy, just run hose from fuel pick-up fitting on tank, to fuel pump, to engine- - -easy deal

Can you just run each tank feed/return lines through a switching valve and T the EVAP lines together? So tank specific feed/return and common EVAP. Or does this not work?

^^^^ I won't even pretend to understand that question, I have no idea if you are talking single or both tanks. Instruction sheets above show exactly how to route plumbing, but I'm not a supporter of trying to tie the evapo tank into the system, don't even like the way that makes fuel flow.

I really appreciate this post! It's going to help me diagnose the wiring from the previous owner as I currently cant switch between the two tanks!
