Systems and methods for balancing levels of liquid fuel among multiple vehicle-mounted fuel tanks utilize at least one control valve that is configured to admit pressurized gas into a first fuel tank while a second fuel tank is ventilated, responsive to detection of a difference of liquid fuel levels within the first and second fuel tanks. Admission of pressurized gas into one fuel tank and ventilation of another fuel tank creates a pressure imbalance that causes liquid fuel to flow through a balancing line connecting the fuel tanks. Balancing may be performed in a bidirectional manner.
