6-port fuel tank selector valve
« on: April 03, 2014, 02:08:31 PM »
Does anyone know or have a drawing of where what lines go where?    My truck was originally a two tank truck but someone had removed everything.   I'm installing the second take and putting in a new selector valve but I have no idea what lines go where????   On one side i have a small and large inlet/outlet and on the other side I have two small and two large inlets/outlets???

On one side i have a small and large inlet/outlet

These route to the front of the truck - the 3/8" is fuel supply to the pump and the 1/4" is fuel return to the tank.  Both lines connect to the engine mounted fuel pump if carbureted - or route to the throttle body if TBI.

...and on the other side I have two small and two large inlets/outlets???

The right pair routes to the right tank, the left pair to the left tank.

It's difficult to know just how much you don't know until you know it.
In other words... if people learn by making mistakes, by now I should know just about everything!!!

Well, this and similar questions come up so often I was focused on gas rigs... but you're correct.  It doesn't matter.
