Urgent help needed, fuel overflowing from rear tank

[5.0Flareside]

I have never used the rear tank as the fuel pump is bad..

But the valve has gone bad and I'm overflowing gas out the rear tank..

What's the name of the valve and process of replacement?

Tank selector valve I think... Never replaced one on that gen truck...

Maybe you could just eliminate it for now and hook directly to your front tank?

I'm reading its actually internal to the fuel pumps.... Fawk me..

Since its a race truck, would it be better to fix the rear tank and eliminate the front tank? Would that work better or worse for weight distribution on launch?

Idk.. It's a daily driver.. And that means I'd still have to buy a fuel pump for rear.. Ain't got the money right now..

I know you DD it, I worded that wrong. I know its not a strictly track truck, but I was just wondering which one would help you out when you do race it.

Hook up an external electric pump to the rear tank and pump it back into the front tank. Then pull it to replace the pump.

Ill be pulling the bed an replacing both pumps...

But for now I used my fuel transfer pump and pumped the rear tank out into my 55 gallon barrel for used oil etc..

They Say for 90/91, same setup on my 91 as my 95

For weight transfer at the track, the rear tank is best.

As to the fuel transfer issue, you will have to change the lines from dual to dedicated. Best way to do such would be to cut the steel lines and make a splice. It has been a while since I saw the original lines from the 92, so I don't recall how they tee'd off. I still have the original lines, so I can look at them.

Your truck should have a valve on the framerail. They get sticky and and won't let fuel return to the correct tank. Had the same problem on my 95.
