well did a test on the system last night. put 50 gallons in the top tank. had 1/8 tank in the bottom. started to transfer and it moves so much fuel so fast it creates a killer vacuum in the top tank (bottom tank vents thru the cap good so am ok there). SOOOO, I bought a check valve, hose and fittings and am going to drill/tap 1/8" pipe hole and install a fitting at the highest point. the check valve pops at 5psi (installed a vacuum gauge and it pops sooner which is cooler) and will keep fluid from escaping the tank (built in roll over valve 
).
timed it for transfer and put in 3/4 tank in less than 5 minutes
