Hi Jens,

I was hoping for something less technical.  Relative heights or a serial order where when the Start-Up tank empties this allows the Running tank to feed.  When the Running tank runs out or is turned off the Shut-Down tank feeds until it's nearly empty and then the line to the injector is closed and the engine stops running without bleeding a bunch of air into it.

Float valves?  The float in the Start-Up tank pulls the valve open on the Running tank line.  The float or leaver on the Running tank pulls the valve open on the Shut-Down line and closes the Running tank line valve.  The float in the Shut-Down tank closes the injector feed valve?

I'm still drawn towards three tanks and three of these float valves that are turned from Normally Open to Normally Closed by just flipping them 180 degrees.  And they're Y2K compliant.

The scanner is in the middle of upgrading or I'd attach my incredible drawing.
