    Yes - They will fill up by themselves. And the one with the least back pressure, ie the shortest how will feel up quicker then the others. Onyl thing to do is turn the main handle by the motor and then it is guaranteed to not fill up.

        Or install the new remote valves like the new systems have. I think I priced all the parts required to do the remote valves and it was under a couple hundred dollars. Well worth having full control of the tanks from the driver's seat. Especially the in floor locker tank that I keep locked since the only thing in there is the tank.

          That is true, I am not sure what CC charges but they are $60 each (valve, cable and control lever from Flo-Rite. There are many styles, make sure you get the right ones. I installed 3 on my 01 Super Sport and I am going to put a set in my buddy's 02 SAN. Pretty easy install, It would be easier to get from CC so you get the right valves and cable lengths.
