12 Volt remote fuel valve

[Archive]

I just installed an aux. fuel tank in my truck with a 12 volt pump underneath to transfer fuel to the main tank. When I open the valve, the fuel gravity flows through the fuel pump into the tank and fills it completely to the cap. I want to be able to shut off the flow as I am afraid the pressure on hot days might pop the relief on the main tank and blow diesel all over. Finally my question: Where is a good source for a 12 volt remote fuel valve? bg

BG, the older Chevy's used a simple fuel solenoid to switch the dual tanks. You could use one of these, of course you wouldn't be switching to another tank, you would just cap off the extra fittings. Anyway, 12v flips it on, lack of voltage flips it off. If you were to wire it to a circuit that gets hot only when the key was on, it should basically work automatically for you. You can get these at Napa for, I believe less than $30. If you want I can email you the part #, but I'll be gone on vacation #ad
starting this weekend.
