I WANT TO TEE MY KICKER INTO MY MAIN FUEL TANK.  I'M CONCERNED ABOUT 1 MOTOR DRAWING A VACUUM ON THE OTHER AND SUCKING AIR OR DOES THAT NOT HAPPEN?  HAS ANYONE SEEN 1 WAY CHECK VALVES OR A SYSTEM THAT WOULD WORK?  OR IS A MANUAL SHUT OF TEE VALVE THE WAY TO GO?
THANKS

Use the second exit port on your fuel filter. If you spring for the quick connects, they usually have the anti-back flow built in.

You can not change the length of your life, but boating does increase its width and depth.

What quick connects are you referring to?  I'm not aware of quick connects with check valves.

I BELIEVE THE QUICK DISCONNECTS ARE FOR LEAKAGE PURPOSES WHEN DISCONNECTED NOT BACK FLOW UNLESS THERE ARE SOME I DONT KNOW ABOUT

If you don't want to go with quick connects you can buy "anti-siphon valves" that screw into the fuel filter head and have a hose barb.  The best ones are Evinrude or Bombardier brand.  They are all brass and SS, the Moellers are aluminum bodied.
