    I have a 2005 c15 Kenworth t600 having issues with diesel.

    the passenger side tank empties out into driver side and truck shuts off. I open the driver side tank and it overflows and spills and passenger tank is complete empty.

    I have gotten pipes cleaned the breather tube replaced and most recently they replaced the small valve and still nothing.

    many help would greatly be appreciated as I’ve been stranded 4 time now do to this issue and every time I have to siphon diesel to reach a truck stop.

    Your lines need to be at the exact same height and length from the split and tanks in the same orientation, parking on even ground ought to help. I recommend brand new lines that way you can verify everything is the same.

    Outside of that, install some 1/4 turn shutoffs and do it that way

    Follow the fuel lines to the tail end of trans or just behind the shifter to where they join into the valve that equals the fuel in both tanks, that's most likely what you need to buy and have replaced?
