Selected User Reviews For Standard Motor Products FV5 Fuel Valve
During the repair of my 1975 Chevrolet K20, I replaced the single wire 6 port fuel selector valve. Due to the lack of availability of the single wire version, I had to go for the multi wire model, where the gauges are also switched inside the valve and not by This is the AC Delco momentary switch (which says depress fully) that will only supply voltage when you press the switch to the fullest extent (it will not work for the It is important to note that the return lines on this valve are 5/16 and not 1/4, so be ready to By splicing the aux tank gauge wire to one of the original lines at the switch, it was sent I did not find it very difficult to rewire the original harness to work for my application, but it was a real pain to do.
As I was on the trip, I discovered that I was pulling from both tanks, even though I was only supposed to be using When I was on holiday, I had to replace the valve after only three weeks of use.
You can find an original one for $400 to $500 if you look hard enough. The diesel plug has a tab inside the connector, which means that it will not fit in the D shaped plug. The one here does not need to be modified much to be used. Amazon sells Amazon Connectors, so you need to get one first. It will take 5 wires to connect. If you do not have a wiring diagram, you'll still be able to You should leave the original connector in place, or you could tap into each wire and measure the voltage while the engine is running. The wires that drive the motor are on two sides. A servo motor will control the valve (this is not a solenoid). When you switch tanks, all these outputs will generate ground and 12 volts, but they will reverse when you switch tanks. One wire goes to the gauge, which displays a different voltage no matter how the switch is positioned when the ignition is on. The remaining two wires go to the relay. Connectors A through F are labeled on the new product. Sending unit A is located at the front of the tank. Specifically, B is connected to the fuel gauge, and C is connected to the back of the vehicle. The 12 volt D and E tanks will both have polarity reversals when turned on and off. It is not used to drive the valve motor in reverse (this drives the motor in reverse). (In addition to switching tanks, the valve also applies voltage to the correct pump. The electrical switch Whenever you switch tanks, the corresponding Electric in tank fuel pumps are also switched on internally. price, I bought two, one as a spare, and one for an emergency. Thank you for your help.
