I have done the same thing, learning the hard way...I use my centre fuel tank solely for my gen set..to use the centre tank I have to open and turn off the appropriate valves in the engine room, I have to make sure I have the cross over valve open for when I use the centre tank only. I have a 42 dcmy 1979. Monty.

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...................
