    passenger side tank is the only tank emptying. Drivers side tank will not unless you manually turn off the passenger tank. Any ideas on what it could be? We can rule out a collapsed fuel line . Any help would be appreciated. Won't be near a shop for another month!

    Thanks!

    Check that the vent tube is not plugged with dirt, dust or ice

    Will it use the fuel from the driver tank?

    it is under warranty I'm just in a camp job and won't be near a dealership. I was kinda hoping it would be something simple I could fix until then.

    I have same issue off and on with a 2015 t680 if I put a litre or so of methyl hydrate in tank it equalizes again.. Mine does it mostly when there's a big temperature swing most likely a bit of ice at the equalizer valve
