ok so my truck runs fine on the front tank but when i switch to the rear tank the fuel filter light comes on and then my truck starts slowing down switch back to the front tank starts running fine and the light goes off i can blow through the feed line and the return line through the selector valve and hear it bubbling in the tank on both lines and the tank is full! i cleaned the vent on the tank its working properly and the filter isnt very old i do not have the screen on the pickup in the tank its a hose as the screen broke i also tried running the hose at the tank to a bottle full of fuel and it doesnt change anything :dunno

You can take the FSV apart and clean it, just watch how it comes apart. Even a caveman can do it.
