Once that happened, I removed the power wire from the selector switch that feeds the left tank, so only the right tank was hooked to the switch, and started up again. Same result

I disconnected the two vents where they tee together and plugged them off to rule out fuel somehow crossing from one tank to the other via the breather hose, and same result.

Finally, just for ****s and giggles, I swapped the return lines at the fuel selector valve, and same result. That seems like the only way you could get fuel transfer from one tank to the other.

I have no idea wtf is happening.
Look at post #146. It sure seems like your return lines are crossed. That seems like the only way you could get fuel transfer from one tank to the other…
