Dual Tanks Fuel switch delete

I have a fuel switch issue and don’t really want to have to switch between tanks has anyone just configured the hoses into a T going to the fuel pump?

I did on a 1980 company truck, while doing a job out of town. Worked fine for the couple of months it took to finish the job, then fixed it when we got back home.
The tanks will equal out, and the gauge was the most accurate after it had been parked for a while.

No return line(s) that will work. 3 port sender and return line fuel pump, that will not work.

Worked for me. I don't make this stuff up.
Didn't even mess with the return line. I reckon it only returned to the one tank that had been previously switched to, but the tanks equalized themselves anyway.

So you are saying that with the supply lines tee'd together, the tanks balanced due to a siphon effect through the supply line? Makes sense.

I'm sure there's going to be a scenario where that setup could possibly cause an issue though, if someone did it that way permanently.
