Fuel Tank selector

Does anybody out there no where I could get a fuel tank sector valve that is factory style replacement other than Ford. I just don't like the idea of cutting my fuel lines to tie in some universal model and risk air intrusion later down the line. This isn't a desperate matter as it is just the return line to the front tank that broke off at the valve the line is ok the valve is broken so I can just run off of the rear tank for now but would like to fix just don't wanna pay what Ford wants for the new piece. Oh and this is a six port valve.

You didn't mention the year, so I can't give you the part number and price.

If you buy the valve from an FTE Ford parts dept sponsor like DIRECT FORD PARTS (they are a sponsor for this forum, so look on this page for their link), you'll save about 30% off the Ford suggested retail price.

You'll save even more, if your local dealer (as usual) jacks up the suggested price.

One of the most common 6 ported valves used in the 1980's/early 90's has a suggested retail price of $91.17, your cost is: $64.44
