The vast majority of the 3 port valves are identical (they look like copies of Ford and GM OEM fuel tank selector valves) and the prices can be vastly different (from $25ish USD to $50ish USD) but as always the freight is brutal. It will eliminate the need for 2 pumps, should simplify the install but the part is specified for a non-return line fuel system and the selector valve must be installed with filters into both inlet ports from the tank - that means the pump must be installed in the main fuel line after the selector valve. Not ideal with an electric fuel pump.
geezer, I 1st became aware of a fuel tank switch at GSA Auctions of a 1983 Chevrolet Truck (it needed it replaced in the auction write-up) internet images of this type truck showed the switch located about center of the dash... https://gsaauctions.gov/gsaauctions/aucbdcls/

I searched for: "fuel tank switch" within the results of a list of "Closed Auctions" At the GSA Auctions home page, click on "Browse by Status" then click on "Closed Auctions" this will show 2 years of auction history... You will see the aforementioned 1983 Chevy truck on this list...

LOOK at this link, it explains the Chevrolet Fuel Switch systems: http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s...d.php?t=754061

Ya think Australia is big enough for two fuel tanks (?) without driving off the other side..?
