Winr, what did you use a selector valve when you added the aft tank? I dunno how the ford's work, but I'd bet you could adapt it. But I think it's 200 bucks if memory serves me from when I priced one about a year and a half ago.

 

Nappa sells them. I dont remember the application (I think it was univesial). I may have the part # for the selector but I'm not sure, I'll look.
I used a 3 position switch on the dash for tank and gauge selection.

 

Wasn't bringing up any problems with cooling the pump, just saying if you have 5 gallons when you shut down, the next day you won't have 5 when it cools. How many gallons to prevent the pick-up from sucking air? How many more if you don't park level? Just some food for thought, I've come into work late a couple times over the years, and had to coast to a level spot and crack injectors after my shift. Then hit the nearest, expensive gas station.

 

I had a Mitsubishi Montero once that didn't have a working gas gauge. I carried a can of gas so when I ran out I put in the can and started looking for a station. I've had to re-prime my diesel once when I changed the fuel filter. It wasn't so bad but took some time to get all the air worked out. (10 minutes) I couldn't seem to get that lever on the lift pump to work though. I didn't know about the valve to open to let the air out though so next time it'll be easier.

Smokinfive 9 4X4. JcWhitney sells them for about 50.00. I just replaced mine needlessly. It turned out to be a bad wire. It comes with the toggle switch and wiring connector. You can use generic fuel hoses and clamps to splice into your existing fuel lines. You will need the 6 port valve. Pretty easy to install and comes with instructions. It is the same one NAPA sells...a Pollak.

 

Good to know for future reference. Thanks
