Hello, I was curious if the truck listed above, ext cab 8’ft bed with dual tanks uses a selector valve to switch from tank to tank because I do not see one. Also, was curious if anyone has a diagram of fuel line routing? Thanks

It does not look like this truck has a fuel selector valve; the fuel tanks feed each other so the engine will not run out. here are the diagrams so you can see how the system works. Check out the diagrams (below). Please let us know if you need anything else to get the problem fixed.

Thank you for the response. Do you have any clue on where to get fuel lines for this truck from front to back or any type of fix for them? thanks

I don't think they make them anymore, so you need to make your own or repair them or try a truck wrecking yard like LKQ.
