Fuel Tank Selector Valve

[Bullnose Gator]

My tank selector issue: the rear tank doesn't register anything, but I've hooked both pumps/sending units up to the front tank and they both register on the fuel gauge. The latest development is that when I flip the switch to the rear tank, the gauge still reads the front tank.

Should I just replace the selector valve, or troubleshoot further? Also, I'm new to parts hunting, but this is the exact part I need (as verified by yall above and by visual inspection) and it is out of stock/discontinued everywhere online. What's next, start calling all the ford dealers until I find one that has it?

This one looks identical to the one on my truck, but it says it's not for the 1986 model. Any chance it could work?

I’m not sure. I bought my from a dealership to be sure it was correct one plus it’s oem. I looked at those  edited buying mine but if I remember correct people were having issues with the aftermarket ones so didn’t want to waste time on it.

Thanks. How did you find it at a Ford dealer? Should I just start calling around until I find one or was it a web search?

Contact a local ford dealer and talk to parts department, they can do a nation search and tell you who has it. I have found them in Houston and a couple dealers in Tenn.  That’s the easiest way to track.
