more FSV ??
If the tank switch is going bad and all the fuel is being returned to one tank what happens if I start with 2 full tanks? Am I going to get stranded if I don't replace it b4 my 1500 mi trip? can I chance it, don't have $200 and we're leaving Sunday, not sure if I can even get one b4 then.

If it's not returning to the tank it's feeding from, it will run the tank over and make a big expensive mess!
If nothing else, bypass the FSV to your biggest tank. Both supply and return.
Or leave the tank empty that it's feeding back to and when it gets full siphon it off and pore it into the other tank. NIGHTMARE!
Personally, I wouldn't go on no long trips like that, I would at the very least bypass it.

Did you order one from ford or an aftermarket one? I have heard that on the aftermarket ones you may have to rewire with their electrical plug.
Not to bad of a job. There are 6 fuel lines held on with plastic clips, the electrical plug and the valve is bolted to the frame rail with 2 bolts. Hardest part is getting the valve out from behind the tank. The plastic clips can break when removing them, might not hurt to have some spares. You can get them from a parts store.
