Tank selector valve

[towtruckerfour]

The one in my 70 F250 is leaking in the cab. I read you could use a universal one but didn't see any part numbers or brands. Has anyone used one and do you have a picture so I could see? Otherwise, I will probably get one from another truck. Thanks for any help.

Check at a heavy-duty truck parts store, they may have one.

Most any heavy-duty truck dealership (Sterling, Navistar, Kenworth, etc.) should have it on the shelf.

I've kept this on hand so when I decide to get the back tanks working

Clamp the 3 hoses with Vice Grips, remove the lever and unscrew the top of the valve. There is an o-ring you can replace to get it to stop leaking from around the shaft. Probably a $0.50 fix.

For a new valve, do a search for boat or marine fuel tank valve. You will find a nearly identical type of valve that is on our trucks. I've seen them come in 1/4" and 3/8" fitting sizes. A local boat shop could probably fix you up with a new one.

Mine started to drool a bit. I just replaced the o-ring. Maybe you could get away with something like that too.

Thanks guys. If it just an o-ring causing the leak, I will try messing with that first. I tried looking in all the catalogs and nobody sells an original replacement.
