My selector valve died years ago and the only available replacement part is upside down and backwards so it is not in the same place. I have also (along with having the engine throw all its belts) found the pressurizing the fuel line that was negative pressure may cause leakage where one was before.
I am going to end up with two independent fuel pumps that can be selected with the tank switch and if there is still one pump and an alternator (if the belt is still on it), I should be able to pump fuel out of the tank. I do not plan to remove the engine fuel pump, but I may change back to the other pump that includes a vapor bleed.
