OOPS! If the Zip Tie photo is of two quick disconnects plugged together with just a piece of tubing, I don't think those Clips will help. There's a raised ring on the fuel filters that the Clip holds in place against a sealing surface.
Is this a two-tank chassis, and do both work? Our '83 E350 was carbureted, two tank, did use those connectors, but had a Tank Select Valve just behind the driver's door on the chassis rail. It was a Six-Port valve, because each tank and the carburetor had a return line as well as a supply line. So Two "in" (actually a Supply and a Return) from each Tank made Four Ports, and the lines going to the engine made two more Ports, for Six. Last I looked, new aftermarket Six-Port Valves were available for around $100.
