Dual gas tanks again
SO with dual gas tanks (1983) is there a cheaper way to switch from tank to tank without a selector valve? I think mine is bad. What if I used an electric fuel pump on each side or some kind of fuel shutoff??? Or maybe n electric pump on one side and a mechanical on the other side? I can't believe the selector valve costs that much.
Carb by the way. NOT efi. Last edited by rayfinseats; 01-22-2011 at 07:54 PM. |

Re: Dual gas tanks again
I have a 1980 with dual tanks, my selector went out. Ordered one from Autozone but it has 6 outlets and mine only has three (Carbed 350 V-8). Advanced Has the same type for $90 I looked on LMC (I know some members dont use them) they has the right one for 49.95 plus shipping. I havent had any problems with their products, its just another option open to us 73-87 square body owners. Just my .02.

Re: Dual gas tanks again
Are you sure its bad, check the plug on the firewall, mine fell off (disconected) and i thought i had a bad selector valve lucky me i already had a spare then found out it was the plug... anyways the only way to do this with a mechanical pump is to do some plumbing and with some shut off valves where you would do it by hand, on the other side get electric pumps and a double throw relay a switch on the on side will power one pump if you put the switch on off it will power the other one.
