Fuel Tank Selector Valve
#196
On the 86 460 with the hot fuel handling package, the system is powered by the starter relay when cranking, this allows him to change tanks when he starts the truck. Once the engine starts the oil pressure switch on the back of the engine provides power through a relay and a resistance wire. If the switch or the relay or the resistance wire are bad the system will not change tanks or run the pumps. The rear sender may be bad also.

Hi I bought one for my 1990 E250 with a 351 gas motor and dual tanks in it a few years ago but never got to put it in. Now Iam converting the van over to a 7.3 diesel and I need the one that is electrical. While removing the 7.3 engine I broke off the return line on the valve. part # on the new one I never got around to installing is F1UZ-9B263-B and the one I need now is E9TB-9F271-AA. Anybody know where I might get one ? Thanks Bob in Mass.

hey bob, sorry to say it but, this is a ford only part. if will run from $235-$290. call your local dealership to price it. if it is over $235 then look up Allstate Ford in Louisville, Ky. the parts are cheap here considering we have the ford truck plant here.

You can try cleaning the selector valve but I had to have my wife take the push keeps out that holds the two valve down. I am not good at that and I would tear them up. But if you can get the "O" rings to slide and seal on the two valves you should be able to clean it.
I do not know where you can get any parts for it so you would be on your own there but I will post a link below and some photos of one that I took apart.

It is a useful number, Ford parts can cross it to a part number most of the time and if an if the drawing number or Engineering number is on the computer then that is the number that auto parts stores and salvage yards go by.
But if you know the part number then it is much easier to get or order a part from a Ford dealer as in your case with the fuel selector valve that auto parts stores do not sell.

replaceing the valve
Thanks for all the info. But I have a questions... What is the best way to remove the hose connection/clips from the selector valve? Is it hard to replace it? The reason for the question, is that the dealer says 2.5 hrs. at a cost of $241.00. If it's not that hard to replace it, I'd like to try it myself. It looks easy enough to get to if I use ramps.
