Thanks Ben and openspaces.
Just looked up the parts, super simple and cheap! OE looking switch is $11, will be replacing that just because the old one looks...old. And under $60 for the valve.
So based on what you said Ben, one would think that the valve (coil) would last longer if it was energized less of the time. IE, if running off of both tanks, better to run off the one that does not energize the coil?
And to that, presume that when the tank selector is on the energized tank, when the ignition is shut off, the power to the tank relay or tank switch is turned off with the ignition and the valve defaults back to the "de-energized" tank position.
IE, de-energized tank empty, running on energized tank, turn truck off, valve moves back, if coil dies, valve stays on empty tank?
