Fuel transfer line


This might be a dumb question, but I’m interested in answers from anyone who knows the answer.
My Carver 460 Voyager has a fuel transfer line between the two tanks that sit near the aft of the boat.
There is no pump transfer, it’s simply gravity/pressure I assume. I also assume it’s there because the genset draws fuel on,y from the starboard tank.
So my question is, if the boat naturally lists to one side (maybe not naturally, but due to weight distribution of tender, etc), and I open the transfer line, does the fuel simply move to the lower side of the boat regardless of amount of fuel in each tank, or does this even the tanks out?
