You could have said you'll copy the old Jaguar set up, the old xj6's and xj12's used to have dual tanks, separate fillers and a switch on the dash to change to what ever tank you wanted to draw from.
Well a bit more searching.. 6 port valve, $170... Seems the go for an easy setup..
Just need to find the extended pickup and float setups then its on to building some tanks...

So Kallen,
Have you worked out what the design needs to look like to draw from each tank separately?
I'm trying to work out the best way to deal with the fuel gauge? I've been wondering if the factory gauge can be switched between the tanks.....eg: when you flick the switch to swap tanks, it also changes the gauge reading to suit....
Tip tip tip......tap tap tap....

The only good thing about an 80 series is..... the front end?? Wrong!!, the Engine?? Wrong!! the Full Time 4WD system?? Wrong!! Its the NissanPatrol.com.au stubby holder fitted over the transfer lever. WARNING: Towballs used for recoveries can, and do kill people and damage property.

Yea, a 6 port valve can be found for sub $200 here is aus.
And for the fuel gauge, I think it would be as simple as getting a 6 post switch. One side for the valve and one for the gauge, you just need to tap into the original line and connect the new sender in appropriate points..
But the. Was thinking maybe 2 separate gauges so you can keep an eye on all tanks at all times..
Just incase one gets a leak. You could also plug in a 2 way pump incase you get a puncher you can pump fuel either way.. possible another $100 to set up..
Just for info, here's the LRA instructions for fitting the belly tank (fitted to my GQ TD 42). The transfer pump arrangement works fine and is pretty simple to set up and trouble-shoot.
