picking a: Fuel selector valvle swith (97 f150 dual tank)
Success
OKAY!!!!
First off, my trucks issue was solved by replacing the fuel selector valve.
Thankfully, I heeded Sub's advice and checked out the selector valve from the Ford dealer (i.e. the canister/mechanical/resevoir style). Although I can't say for sure that none of the one's in the URL link I provided above wouldn't have worked...... they don't look at all like the Ford part. I Know I wouldn't have wanted the "powered" selector valve.
I have to admit something here....... I decided to hire a mechanic friend to change it out. I know, kind of a cop out.... but was a bit short on time, a lot short on patience and wasn't looking forward to crawling under this rust bucket without a lift etc.
I want to thank all of you that responded to my questions along the way. This site is a great resource (site wouldn't be the resource it is without the people posting up all the info). Although the rig is once again running like a top...... i have a feeling i'll be back with more questions. T H A N K YOU!
