Long story, short version: I discovered diesel has been leaving the main/forward tank and filling the rear/auxiliary/Wallas heater tank (that’s not working). My assumption is when the bow goes up the fuel flows by gravity back to the auxiliary. The Johnson fuel pump does not have a back flow prevention valve or what not. It does pump from auxiliary to main.
So…. install a simple valve in the fuel line or a backflow valve? Install a new pump that has a backflow prevention system (if exists)?
