Dual Tank Issues

Hi all,

Wondering if anybody on here can confirm if a 1995 f250 4x4 5.8L V8 EFI has a "fuel reservoir assembly or also referred to as a fuel tank valve selector"? I have looked all over the frame rail and haven't found anything that resembles anything from the picture below. Any help is much appreciated.

Thanks,
Sean

Your truck does not have one of those.

by 95 ford switched from selector valve to an in fuel pump valve.
when the fuel pump is powered it opens the valve.
BUT when the pump/valve fails, it will stick in the open position and the return line will fill the opposite tank you are drawing from.

There is not. On the frame rail, behind the fuel filter next to the front tank there is a metal box that has the fuel lines from both tank go into it.

From what I’ve read on this forum, the system changed mid 1990.

Thanks for all the help and information! These failed fuel pump valves, can you buy them or do you have to replace the whole fuel pump?

@My4Fordtrucks The forward tank is not working, when I switch to the front the truck stalls out. Replaced the switch on the dash and when that didn't work I went searching for answers online. Came across the tank selector valve but couldn't see one under my truck. Thankfully, you guys saved from buying one.

No. When the pump fails, you need to replace the whole assembly.
