OK, I'm a newb here, and its been about 10 years since my last F series pickup, but this one has me stumped.

I bought this monster (old body style 97 F250 7.5l 460 with 270,000 plus miles) with the statement that the front fuel pump was out. Without a thought to the contrary, I dropped the tank and replaced the pump. Still no fuel line love....

So I searched the forums here and afar to no avail. Best I can gather, the tank selector valve is dead, but the I'll be damned if I can find it! I see where the lines all meet, but there is no electrical wire coming in. Its just a simple junction. I tried replacing the dash switch, and the fuel pump relay already, so this is the last item on my list of possibilities.

Going from the fuel filter back, there is the fuel line junction, the the lines simply go to their respective tanks.

I get no power to the front pump at all, but I am still able to get an accurate reading on the fuel level at the front tank. Any of ideas???? HELP!!!!!!

I am recently one of the many unemployed, and this rig is my means of income, so any help is GREATLY appreciated.

Thanks!
The Newb, Clay

 

There is a fuse for the selector switch marked on the fuse panel cover.
Have you looked at this?

 

I only see one for the "fuel auxiliary", and have checked/replaced it. In fact, all fuses and relays seem to be good, hence me being stumped. Its like there is no power there at all, but the rear works just fine?
