Default 38 zr fuel tanks

I just purchased a 2007 38 zr. I have looked everywhere and can't find a switch to switch tanks. Do they draw fuel from both tanks or are the connected somehow? Thanks

The tanks are not connected from the factory and are matched to respective engines.

we have a 2008 model and its one tank as far as I can tell. you can fill it from either side of the boat.
It holds around 650 litres of fuel. Not sure if it is a smaller tank because we also have a holding tank for the toilet.

Mine is a ZrC and is a little different but I have a tank for each engine and am pretty sure that is how the Zr's were basically set up.

The early 38zr's were built like the comp with split fuel tanks due to the center stringer and staggered engines. If you have a toggle switch by the fuel gauge to select port or starboard tanks is the easy way to tell.

I have an 05 38ZR with separate tanks for each engine. There is a way you can switch from one to the other with the fuel line valves located on the motorbox bulkhead. I never had a need to do this so I never looked at it very closely. I have a switch on the dash to check the fuel levels in each tank.
