Interesting. I draw more from the port tank as well on my 1973 42'. I manage the balance using the salon valves. I just leave the stb open and close (or partially close) the port valve to balance. Seems to work fine. When I close them both and draw only from the forward middle tank it goes VERY quickly because it returns to the side tanks. (port to port, stb to stb). I do have a fill valve for my middle tank. Been adjusting the valves for 12 yrs without a problem. I do set an alarm as a reminder when I am on one tank........
