I've pretty much decided when mine fails I'm converting to a single tank.See that oval???
That and the custom ford only electrical connector.

No. Gravity, pressure differential and other issues will prohibit. Plus you'd have to pump from one to the other which is kinda what happens when the selector valve goes **** up.How do you do it just plumb both tanks togther?
Yeah I mean it's cool, and I guess you've got a backup in case one tanks gear goes south, but realistically IMO it's dumb. Just gimme one big ass tank.I have always wondered why Ford and GM (don't know about Dodge) went with 2 tanks... I know that you could get 2 tanks in the Dentside (73-79), starting will the Bullnose in (80-86), Bricknose (87-91) and OBS (92-97) Trucks, and the Dentside Vans (74-91) seemed like all of them had 2 tanks. Then in 92 Van, 97 F-150 and 99 F-2/350 redesign, they went back to one big tank.... Most of the dual tank setups were ~40 gallons..... and they went upper 20's to as big as a 44 gallon tank on the Excursion.
I know the spare tire is under the rear of the trucks (under the rear tank on the dual tank trucks) but don't see why they didn't go above 18ish gallons on the front (mid-ship) tank... The newer single tank trucks, they are all a midship tank. The standard tank on the 150's is 26 gallons, with an "extended range" tank that is 36 gallons... I know the Superduty tanks are in the 30 range.... so the placement of the tank can't be the only reason. The spare is still all the way in the back, between the axle and bumper..... The odd one is the 44 gallon Excursion tank, it is all the way at the back, between the axle and bumper, but the spare stores inside like a station wagon...... never really understood the dual tank thing with all the added complexity, and problems it brought along. I think everyone that's had an FSV has had trouble with it at one point. Age doesn't really seem to be part of it, because we had trouble with the FSV on our 83 F-150 in the early 90's.......
Good theft prevention.It will select front, rear or off.
