I have a 89 F150 I6 and 5 speed. I need to replace the valve that switches
which tank to pull gas from. I have verified that the switch is good.

Does anyone know of any sources other than the dealer?

Thanks

RockAuto.com has one for ~$75+S&H. Use the discount code 1088166951135
through 10/19 for a 5% savings.
But if the switch is good, why do you need another?

I don't need the switch, I need the valve that mounts to the frame.

Oops, my bust. I misread it. (Dyslexia strikes again.)
That is the valve at RockAuto. What does the dealer want for one, or have
you checked yet?

How about your local salvage yard?

They only have a universal with 3 hose connections. The one on the truck has
5.

Is it possible to open up the valve?
I had a problem with an old GM P/U valve that was fixed by polishing the
sliding valve assembly. Seems there was a coil at each end that pulled the
valve body back & forth. The valve body was just sticking, due to a
combination of tight tolerance and crud buildup from the fuel.
