1978 GMC dual tank setup?
« on: January 12, 2015, 03:22:30 pm »
Just bought a 1978 GMC Sierra it originally had dual fuel tanks and someone in its past life eliminated one tank. I have an extra tank but I am not sure how to how to set it back up. Does anyone have any advice or info on what or how to do this? Any info would be helpful thank you.

Thanks srozell that's a good alternative if I can not find the right parts, I appreciate your input. I am really interested in putting it stock though. But I will definitely keep that in mind. Thanx again.

Use this for reference http://forum.73-87chevytrucks.com/smforum/index.php?topic=9072.0

Pick up a tank switching valve and switch with bezel. Follow the wiring diagram and route the hoses correctly.
