Re: Fuel Tank Valve Question
I've had two and even three tanks on some of these trucks and they all have/had the manually operated valve on the floor to the left of the driver seat, with a handle opposite the four position pointer. It merely swivels in a circle. One opening is the outlet and others for inlet. If you have that type of valve, just run a fuel line from the second tank to one of the unused inlets - the one you will remember as the setting for that tank. Might be a really good idea to make certain that the tank is clear of debris/gunk before you begin using it again.
One thing I have found to be handy is to have a sender on each tank and a switch on the dash which enables one to see the fuel level in each tank - because I do not drive some of these very often and forget the fuel level in the tank that does not have a gauge. Sometimes I just run the un-gauged tank until it is almost empty (first sputter) and then turn the valve handle to the gauged tank.
