Fuel Tank Selector Valve

So my front tank never worked and suspected it was the fuel tank selector valve. Started selling gas and thought it might be the front tank since it has a full tank of gas and I added to it, was not paying attention to which tank I was filling. Notice that it was using more fuel then notice the smell even more. Long story, looks like the valve is sending the return fuel to front tank and not the rear tank it is coming from.

I found this one on Amazon.

Amazon Amazon

But there are others on the page half the price. The only thing is, they say they are for 89-97. Example:

Wondering if there is any difference and will they work... I do know some were made where you could change the filter in the fuel tank selector valve and some you could not.

Thanks in advance...

Got it replaced and runs great. The only thing is the fuel gage for the front tank, the one that never worked, is pegged out past full. This is after I siphon 10 gallons of the old gas out... Also, hat is the best way to check to see if the fuel pump is running/working on the front tank?
