Take it to a local Freightshaker dealer and let them do the work.

It is too easy way))) LOL
really one tank is heated only and I wanna operate truck in cold areas this winter -
The cheapest way to make sure your tanks don't gel is to buy anti-gel solution out of the truckstop.
-
yep, but anty gel is not so good thing. I wanna operate truck in Northen Russia, and they use diesel with high sulfur content and when you mix anty gel with sulfur is corrosive. No ULSD is available there.
The other problem that I'm in warm East Ukraine and truck runs two thousand miles there. So one tank with regular fuel, other with "arctic".
I sugest freightliner use the similar Mercedes and Volvo, but may be some surprizes) LOL, so the best idea to have diagram -
I thought that they put valves on those from the factory, you don't have any valves where the hoses all come together up on top of the transmission? I thought that they were operated by levers just above the left side fuel tank, back in under the edge of the cab just a little.

I tried to find a schematic for the fuel lines but had no luck.

most trucks did not come with shut off vavles. get under the truck and follow the 2 fuel lines to the top area of the tranny there you will find 2 t fittings. one line from each tank will go to each fitting than a line from the fitting to the motor. make sure you install a shut off on each line to the tanks otherwise if you only close the supply line you will still feed fuel back to the tank and over flow it. Now if its an older model it may have a line that runs tank to tank about 1 1/2 to 2 in thick. if thats the case you have to redo everything. that setup feeds from one tank to the other than from that tank to the motor.

I will try to find fuel lines today
