Question fuel leak

I have a 1979 F-250 regular cab, long bed, 460 4v, and 4 wheel drive.

I have the dual fuel tanks and every time I switch over to my aux. tank fuel dumps on the ground. Any tips or similar problems?

Hello- Welcome to FTE! Check out the list of tech forums we have on FTE. There is a wealth of information and expertise here to help you. There are a number of links in my sig below to help you also. Have fun!

Dumps from where? If it overflows a tank just repair/replace the selector valve. If it flows out of a line, repair the line.

You will have to crawl under it and see where it's coming from. Look over the valve and the lines between it and the aux tank.

Well the AUX tank is the front one near the cab.

You did'nt give us much info about the leak

Maybe tell us where on the truck it is ?

Aside from the obvious,something isn't hooked up
