What's wrong with the factory setup?
are you having problems with it?
Like Helifixer said us a rear Bronco that's a 38 gallon tank. I'm running a C&C fuel tank from an 07 on the rear and kept the front one, lots of miles with 60+ gallons of fuel.

Factory setup is a PITA to rehab. Selector valves, disintegrating fuel pickups. Just did mine. On a fun factor scale of 1 to 10, I would rate it about a -3. I kept the factory setup from what I can tell changing to the single larger rear tank setup necessitates relocation of the spare. I didn't feel like doing that.

There's a chance that the new valve got contaminated by broken shower debris. I know the one I replaced while doing the In Tank Mods had broken plastic form the shower head had the same symptoms as yours, so might be a "simple" fix that needs to be address anyways and you will be able to keep both your tanks.
