WTB: fuel tank selector valve for OBS

[lindstromjd]

Well, I just spent all day at the junkyard and couldn't find a single diesel in the yard. I need the frame-mounted tank selector valve for my '94 PSD. I'm sure it's the exact same as any other OBS, or possibly a brick nose, but I'm not sure. Can anyone help me out here?

I have a couple of 88/89 versions, but I cannot guarantee their functionality. The '89 one did not seem to suck air, but I only used the front tank on it. If you are OK with that one, I can compare it to the one on my '97 PSD.

I have one one my 83. Both tanks worked. Not sure if its the same as one that new.

Got a local-ish member looking at a yard near him today, so we'll see what happens. I might end up needing a backup anyway though. What are you guys looking to get for yours?

50 shipped?

Little steep for me. I managed to pick one up from a local OB'er, so we'll wait and see how it works. If it doesn't, I'll get back to you guys.

Yeah, funny they control the flow of $150 worth diesel every 5-600 miles...

I sell new ones if you guys can't find something to your liking, but yeah they are $150 or so.

How did this work out for you Jeremiah? Curious if that one worked or not.

It kind of worked, but either the front tank pickup is really clogged or the selector valve doesn't quite open all the way. If I really get into the throttle, the fuel filter light comes on and if I don't let off it right away, the truck starts to die from fuel starvation. I just put it back on the rear tank for now and will deal with it later. I plan on putting a 38 gallon tank in the rear, and fixing the front tank as soon as I can.

Did you ever get the efuel installed?

Nope. Sold the truck to a friend of mine and he hasn't done it either. But he's going to go with a 2007 fuel pump/filter combo instead of the super duty pump I had for it.

 

[79jasper]

Ah, I've heard of people using those. And even the 6.7 fuel pump setup.
