Dual tanks - how to have two gauges?

Hi,

There are two big tanks in the back of my 22', and one electronic gauge on the dash that only reads the "total " amount of gas. I like to know how much is in each individual tank. Is there an easy way to get gauges on each tank? Mechanical or otherwise?
 
My old Campion had 2 tanks with a gauge and a toggle switch. One switch position read the port tank and the other the starboard tank. Probably pretty simple to wire one up.

Yup. Super easy and effective.
 
If your fuel tanks have a sending unit for each tank. Then run a red wire from each tank sending unit all the way forward to the 3 way toggle switch. Wire one sending unit wire to the right side, the other to the left side, the gauge to the middle pole on the switch. Then connect your black ground to the gauge. Toggle the switch left or right to read each tank level.
