The valves I diagramed earlier are under the cockpit (pilot house helm station) mounted on the aft bulkhead in the engine room. You think there is another set? Any idea where?

My suggestion to go to sea, was based on the possibility of losing 1 or 2 engines in the channel. This would hopefully get you out of harms way. I feel that there is another set of valves somewhere.I have valving under the cockpit.

I have two forward "saddle tanks" of about 68 gallons (I've been told) and two master tanks aft of 182 gallons each. I notice on the fuel gauge the saddle tanks rise and fall as fuel is consumed. That is, the forward tank will read half full, then it will read full and again later back to half full. I assume the excess diesel fuel is being routed to the forward tanks which causes them to fill, but then how do they go back to half full? What mechanism is in place to cause fuel to go one way, then reverse out? I'm confused. Thanks for any explanations.
