How does the fuel tank system work?
Alright, I've been doing some reading on the fuel tank system, and the various ways of getting fuel cleaner through the system.
So can anyone explain how the dual tanks flow fuel from one to the other, and then on to the engine and back?
Thanks,
Jeff

Good point. Looks like he has an 03 so it will depend on if it's an early 03 or late 03.

The link above pertains to the tank system prior to Nov 2002. Since you did not tell us what year your car is and there is no info in your profile that may or may not apply to your vehicle.
Here is a link on how the later (2003 and 2004 C5) version of the tank system works:
