For those of you who have installed the RDS fuel tank using a Solenoid valve, which solenoid valve did you use and where did you mount it? Thanks, Ray

I install a valve under the bed. Installed a toggle switch on the dash connected to the switched power. I didn't want the valve on if I should forget to turn off the switch. It's been installed now for almost a year, made 3 trips between NC and FL with no problems. I used this valve:

Could I ask why you chose a 1/4" ported valve? The RDS kit is 3/8" tubing and fittings. Did you support the valve or just let the hose carry the load? I have a new Ford SD with upfitter switches so wiring should be a piece of cake.
I used 3/8 nipples, the fuel line is 5/16. I used cooking oil to lube the hose and nipples and the hose slipped on nicely. I just left the fuel line support most of the weight but also used wire ties for extra support.
