Changing Fuel Selector Valve To Manual Valves [with 2 valves,fuel & return]
I WANT MY GAGE TO WORK [manually switched over, front & rear]
Specific Question… How do I Re-Wire the gauges to work when there is no longer the original FSV [fuel selector valve] to do the switching?
Looking at the schematics, I see that…
PIN 4 is the common for the two fuel sender units [front and back]
PIN 3 is from the front fuel sender unit
PIN 5 is from the rear fuel sender unit
Without the FSV [with the switch for the gauges] I am thinking that those wires need to be extended back to the ‘Front/Rear’ switch in the cab. I’m thinking that only ‘half’ of the ‘double pole/double throw’ switch will be used now. [with no FSV motor to power up]
Probably… wire for common pin 4 goes to the middle terminal
Probably… wire for pin 3 goes to the top ‘Front’ terminal
Probably… wire for pin 5 goes to the bottom ‘Rear’ terminal
right?
Any advice on fuses?
CLEARLY, I DON’T KNOW WHAT I AM DOING HERE !!!
Can someone help me?
PICTURES showing how you set up your Manual Valves would be GREAT !!! I am still trying to decide where the best place would be to mount my valves.
Anything you could post would be Greatly Appreciated !!
Thanks,
