Replace Fuel tank selector valve 440 engine?

[Thundercloud]

Gosh I finally figured the new topic button out! Anyhow, the fuel tank selector valve never did work when I bought my 1979 Winnebago.Ela'ndan 2 with the 440 engine and M-500 chassis.  I just want to replace the switch, valve etc. and I'm  Hm?wondering if anyone has some input on this " to Hm?pic "

You need one of these:


Autozone - 3 Port Fuel Select Valve

Original switch would be a Winnebago part

Yep! That's the one I used on my 1975 21 footer. Works like a dream. I even got to use the original switch on the dash.

I like how you put those tw, in-line fuel filters behind the valve.  I'm sure ths would help keep it from ketting gunked-up.  Makes much more sense than the OEM, single one in the main line, close to the engine, along the chassis frame!

 

Next logical question - Would this be readily available at a common Auto Parts store?

Yeah that is a good idea with that filter. It looks like a fairly simple job. Now if we can just tap into our Alaskan oil reserves....

• Auto Zone has them as I'm sure Advance auto would have them.
