I have read another help thread where (AllanD) explained the role of how the valve works. My install is a bit different to stock. 83 with dual tanks, and the cab switch does control the valve correctly F & R.
However, the rear tank will not switch in the valve and only stays to front. to get the truck running we took the line for the front tank and hooked it to the pump directly. Pump is mounted to out side of frame 5 inches for the frame mounted valve. there are no return lines to the tanks, all lines are just direct to the carb. on the thread I was reading Allan explains how the valve runs a return system also, if the valve isn't hooked to a return will this play havoc with the valve?
If so, can i buy a non return line valve system to keep the dual tanks in operation? Does the return line have any affects on the fuel system? and haven't got the fuel gauge reading correct yet.
thanks
