Cpt Perry, I have 4 pulls on my diesel 42' and they correspond to the main fuel feeds from 4 different fuel tanks.(Port, Stb, Aft, and Fwd) I can use them to either shut off all fuel to the engines if needed (never so far) or to determine which fuel tank I will use to feed the engines. I have separate return valves as well allowing me to move fuel around. That's the good part. The difficult part is the spaghetti of a fuel system and valves below. If not set correctly I can drain or overfill a tank very quickly.
I learned the latter the hard way...................
