I have a 89 F150 I6 and 5 speed. I need to replace the valve that switches
which tank to pull gas from. I have verified that the switch is good.

Does anyone know of any sources other than the dealer?

Thanks
Ted

RockAuto.com has one for ~$75+S&H. Use the discount code 1088166951135
through 10/19 for a 5% savings.
But if the switch is good, why do you need another?

I don't need the switch, I need the valve that mounts to the frame.

Oops, my bust. I misread it. (Dyslexia strikes again.)
That is the valve at RockAuto. What does the dealer want for one, or have
you checked yet?

They only have a universal with 3 hose connections. The one on the truck has
5.

Is it possible to open up the valve?
I had a problem with an old GM P/U valve that was fixed by polishing the
sliding valve assembly. Seems there was a coil at each end that pulled the
valve body back & forth. The valve body was just sticking, due to a
combination of tight tolerance and crud buildup from the fuel.
