Where is the fuel selector switch?
The selector valve must be located between the Fuel Pump and the Fuel Tanks.
How does a Ford fuel tank selector valve work?
Fuel is piped through fuel lines to a fuel control valve (usually known as the fuel selector). They pump fuel under pressure through a shutoff valve for each engine. A manifold or connecting tubing typically allows any tank to supply any engine through the use of crossfeed valves.
How does a Ford dual fuel tank system work?
The ford dual fuel tank works big with two pipes. One pipe supplies fuel to the engine and the other power emits fuel from the fuel rail. The truck’s fuel tanks draw fuel from both tanks at the same time. They work in a chain of command, even on a big truck.
Does a truck with 2 gas tanks have 2 fuel pumps?
Many dual fuel pump applications are inline high volume pumps. Another more common application for dual fuel pumps in a factory vehicle is if the vehicle has two fuel tanks, as some trucks do. The decision to upgrade a high performance or race vehicle to multiple fuel pumps is a simple one.

How does a selector valve work?
A selector valve is used to control the direction of movement of a hydraulic actuating cylinder or similar device. It provides for the simultaneous flow of hydraulic fluid both into and out of the unit. A closed-center selector valve blocks the flow of fluid through the valve when it is in the NEUTRAL or OFF position.
How do you connect two fuel tanks?
Connect the line between the tanks low or on the bottom of each tank, be sure that the line does not go above the bottom of either tank and they will act like one tank. Any place that the line goes above the bottom of one of the tanks will set the level of the fuel that you can get out of that tank.
Are dual fuel tanks connected?
In a typical dual tank arrangement, each tank has a fill limiter line connection, an emissions control fuel vapor line connection, a vent line and a fuel return line from the engine.

Re: CHANGING FUEL PUMP 91 F150 No, The fuel pump is located IN the fuel tank, so you have to remove the tank to get to it.
How does a truck with two fuel tanks work?
How do dual fuel tanks work? The dual fuel tanks on a big rig “work” by having two pipes (one for supply to the engine and the other for return from the fuel rail) between the tanks. The truck draws fuel from both tanks at the same time.
