On a 75 DM with 2 tanks, there is (or should be) a crossover line running from the lower front of one tank to the lower front side of the other tank.

The suction and return lines for the engine are on the driver's side tank.

If it empties the driver's side tank and the pass. side tank stays full, then one or both of the shutoff valves (located where the crossover line hooks to each tank) are closed, or there is a blockage in the crossover line or fittings.
