Dual fuel tanks - manual fuel pump?

Hello,


Have a 1985, F250HD, 460ci with dual fuel tanks. These tanks are now electric fuel pump. I would like to convert to manual fuel pump. I don't think adding a manual fuel pump would be difficult but how would I make the switch from the side tank to the rear tank if I'm not using the fuel selector unit or the electric fuel pumps? I would like an all manual, non electric option for this


Thanks,


nonrev

May need to replace the fuel pump with the gauge sender hanger in the fuel tanks. Not sure if the gauge sender hanger will fit in the fuel tanks that had a pump in them.
I have been able to use the engine mounted fuel pump to pull though the non running pumps in the tanks but this may not work if you lose prime.

You should be able to use the motorized fuel selector valve on the frame.
