Jagg82 Posted September 8, 2020 Share Posted September 8, 2020 Here is a puzzling issue. So my 85 F250 with 6.9 diesel needs a new tank selector valve which is part number E3TZ-9189-C. However, all of the one I can find have 4 ports down and 2 up. Mine has 2 ports up, 2 down and 2 horizontal to frame. 2 horizontal ones are front tank, 2 down are rear tank and 2 up are to motor. Anyone know where to find such a valve or am I looking for wrong number. Thank you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gary Lewis Posted September 8, 2020 Share Posted September 8, 2020 Lonni - I'm not sure what valve you have as I'm not sure I follow your description. But does yours have an ID # on it? Our page (Documentation/Fuel Systems/Fuel Systems Part Numbers/Fuel Tank Selector Valves) says you are right that you should have E3TZ 9189-C and that it should be marked E3TB 9F271-AA. I have a new, in box, valve and it is marked that way and the box has that part number. Here are pics of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jagg82 Posted September 8, 2020 Author Share Posted September 8, 2020 Mine has 2 ports that face the rear of truck that the front tank hooks into, then the ports that point down are rear tank and ports pointing up go to motor. The one you have and I am seeing every where have the 4 ports pointing down and 2 up. The picture on the site page shows what mine looks like but non on market are like that. Here is what mine looks like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A major change is the way the hoses connect. In the pic below you'll see a hose barb on the E3TZ 9189-C, meaning a rubber hose goes on it. And on the right you'll see the quick disconnect type fitting that I think your truck has. I say that because you can see them in the illustration above. And they don't interchange. So, I think the part number you need is E5TZ 9189-B. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
