Yes, its a 2 gallon tank that both fuel tanks feed, from it the main, wing and gen get their fuel.  There is also a drain at the bottom, to empty small amounts in case water has accumulated.  It's rectangular with a sump at the bottom.  All told there are 5 fittings that connect to it (if memory serves me right).  Oh and there is a final connection to the fuel return manifold.

When Larry refers to a supply tank, is this a one gallon tank that comes
after the day tank and serves like some kind of distribution center? If so,
why wouldn't a distribution manifold be used? I thought that Norhavn
measured fuel consumption using the day tank.

Thank you,
