Dual Function Reservoir
Hello,
Still working the fuel issue on my 87 F150 XLT Lariat 5.0l. I have found that is is MUCH easier to remove the bed for access to the tanks, wiring and other stuff. Both in tank pumps were toast. The front pump/sending unit has been replaced. The aft tank, besides being filled with some really nasty old gas, has about 2 inches of what looks like tar in it. its really gooey like syrup. I am wondering if someone was trying to vandalise this vehicle. When I opened the dual function reservoir (6 port), there was an o-ring lying in the cup, and one of the valves or pistons is pushed up into the body. I presume I need a replacement. Does anyone know where to find an aftermarket replacement? Will a different year model work? What is a reasonable cost?
Any help or ideas are much appreciated.
