Exact setup that is used on the Long-Ranger (ARB sill tanks (same diagram as well

I plan to run 3 tanks in my 110 County and have been trying to figure out what I'll need. Ideally I'd like to have one fuel gauge and have it read from whichever tank I'm using. I also like the solenoid idea, with one switch controlling the tank feed, return lines and gauge feed.

It seems to me that most of the systems here are set up for two tanks. Can anyone clarify what I'll need to do to get a system working for thee tanks? Murray's set up sounds fine, but I would like to confirm that the whole operation can be controlled with one switch on the dash. I would also like to find the switch, as I'll be ordering a Raptor dash soon and want to figure out how much room it will need.

Cheers, Dave.

Dave,
You can definitely run a three tank system off one switch and one gauge, that's how mine was originally, but I prefer the separate gauges.
You need a three way switch so that in position one neither of the solenoid valves are open, but power goes to #1 sender. In position two, one of the valves is open and power to #2 sender. In position 3 both valves are open and power to #3 sender. That's basically how it works anyway.
I just had a simple toggle switch, nothing special, but you might want to go for a Carling or similar. Either way, you don't need a great amount of space on your dash.

Cheers, Murray
