fuel tank valve

I have a 1988 f250 with the 7.3 the fuel tank valve went bad. I do not want to spend 250 on a new one I would like to use an aftermarket valve for $50 has anyone converted the plastic fuel line to rubber to allow the use of the aftermarket valve? if so is there a source for a connector to convert the fuel line from plastic to rubber.
thanks Bret

For the connection why not just use some fuel line and clamps? Thats what I plan to do to extend mine. There is a write up on here somewhere about using one of those aftermarket FSV's and the wiring that is involved

The plastic is sort of heat shrunk onto the fittings at the ends, carefully cut it off, and slip your rubber on with clamps and away you go.
