Really? Guess there is a big diff from chevy to ford...lol. I better start siphoning the rear tank. I mite have to replace the switch as well. The prior owner never used the tank..do the valves gum up or ever need cleaning?

Yes, there is a BIG BIG difference between Ford and GM. The switches hardly ever go bad. Those valves are a non-serviceable item. Since the "good gas" from the front is running thru it, it should be in OK condition. You must have found out the PO never used the rear tank AFTER you filled it up! Don't that suck?

Oh yea, DON'T siphon the gas from the rear right into the front tank. If the PO never used it, no telling what will come out! EEEEWWWW!

I would not say there are no serviceable parts inside, but you are limited on what can be replaced (o-rings and the filter if it has one).

Right now truck is in the shop getting new steering column and the breaks bled. Getting ready for a camping trip and would hate to run out if fuel. The canister is the same as the selector valve? I will look at the entire system...from switch to tank. Just hope its not the pump...costly.
