摘要： A remote fuel supply system comprising a fuel transfer unit for managing the flow of fuel from a remote fuel tank and onboard auxiliary tank to an engine. The system may include an engine unit comprising an onboard auxiliary tank, a remote fuel supply unit comprising a remote fuel tank, and a fuel transfer unit. The fuel transfer unit may include a housing featuring multiple inlets for receiving fresh fuel from the fuel supply unit and unburnt fuel from the engine unit, and the housing may include multiple outlets connected to diverter valves for selectively transferring fuel to the engine unit from the fuel supply sources; namely, the fresh fuel from the fuel supply unit and/or the unburnt fuel from the engine unit.
