I have two fuel filters within my fuel lines leading to the engine, one each on the starboard and port. Each has two lines running in---one from two separate main tanks and the other from a single auxiliary tank. The main tanks have fuel in them. I had them both set to draw fuel from the main tanks. The problem is the other day on our way to grab lunch by water, one engine shut down after about ten minutes, we simply continued on to where we were going on one engine and we decided to simply return home on one engine. After about twenty minutes more (total running time by now about 45 minutes on the one engine that was still running) it conked out too.
I changed over the auxiliary tank for both engines, primed the bulbs, and they both cranked fine and run fine. When I switch back to the main tanks, they both conk out after about ten minutes.
Again, the main tanks have fuel in them. What could be the problem given both the lines for the main and auxiliary tanks both run in and through the same filter???
