I have just ordered one. It is not an exact replacement so will have to adjust to fit. Mine worked, just leaked! There are no "exact" replacement valves to be had either. Replaced all the fuel and vapor rubber lines w/ all new all SS clamps.

Be sure to give Amazon a call if there are any intall problems. While
you're under there, you might want to put a small electric backup fuel pump
on the aux tank powering it off the selector valve, they may have those too.

I'm glad to see people like to post these buys.
Any body knows the short term value, but let him find a fuel sender and
tell us what he had to pay.

All GMC owners
When are you all going to get it?
With out our GMC suppliers helping us.
Who will?
Please shop them first.
On the way to Coos Bay we broke our throttle cable.
Who did I call not Amazon or the local auto parts store.
We broke down north of Gold Beach Oregon south of Coos Bay about 50 miles
I called Jim K at his business
Is Jim in?
No he is on the way to Coos Bay
Nick came on line YES we have a cable in stock.
This is around 3:00 in the afternoon.
It was hand carried to UPS that afternoon by a nice young lady who called us to let us know it was shipped and gave Susie the tracking number.
The next day at 10:15 AM the cable was in Gold Beach at the local ACE hardware.
We where back on the road at 11:30
I had to ride my bike in to town and back about three miles round trip.
Bottom line shop the GMC guys first.
Jim, Nick and young lady at Applied GMC Thank You, Thank You.
The second call was to Steve Ferguson who posted to the net.
Thank You Steve.
Boy did we get the calls all wanting to help.
Again Thank You to All of You
XO's

I am not going to call Jim for an oil filter or a set of plugs. Now, anything peculiar to our coaches, yes, I will call a GMC vendor first. Only makes sense. Sometimes we forget to consider this on some parts but if I need to pay more because I know I will get the right part and have telephone help from the vendor, that is what I am going to do. I am one who often needs assistance. My dad taught me that getting a 100 dollar part for 75 may not be the deal I am thinking it is. I feel for poor Trevor who did the right thing and still got shafted by the shipping g company. But that is uncommon when dealing with our vendors. Many times newer owners just don't think like this, but it might not take them long to learn. Three years ago one of our friends lost his governor gear, 90 miles away from me. I had three gears in my coach. He had already called applied before calling me to come help. 6 pm. I was with him at 11 am following morning. Before I could get one of my gears ready UPS showed up with gear from Jim, less than 18 hours after his call from Deming, NM to Fremont, Ca. That is how it normally works.
I could site many more examples but I am in the hospital and the dope is wearing off.
Just my 2 cents worth.

You know Gary, I anguished over sending that but in that we have a pile of lurkers as well as many new owners here on this list-- I feel it's important for them to understand the asset of specialty parts dealers the GMC community enjoys. Ask a Revcon guy if he has such support. The one guy who posses the NOS special parts for the Revcon is a hard guy to love. Good used brake drums go for $550 exchange, brake master cylinder go for the same amount and they are rebuilts! In a niche community like ours, we all have to help eachother or we will all perish. I checked my cost on the fuel selector valve, my landed cost is $39. I have to make some profit so I sell it for $45. I would not call that gouging. For the $6 saved I don;t see why that is a deal breaker. Many of the parts JIm K. and I offer actually will price out lower, some a little higher but no one can be called gouging and the support you give us may just keep us above water
another day.
There has been talk about this subject-- sometimes getting heated. It doesn;t have to go that way, I feel if the GMC community understood the importance of supporting eachother they would. It's an odd relationship we all have together, most unique interest vehicles like ours does not have a support group like we have-- I feel it's one of the top reasons to have a GMC motorhome, I mean you can fix it! You don't have to be a died in the wool grease monkey to own one, there is help all over the place which is why we are so buried with work.
I could tell also that the gal installing new air bags didn't understand the importance of proper rear shocks. There's no need to beat her up, just give out the important info and folks will usually make the informed correct decision. At least you have to believe that. So I was not trying to be cute with my retort just wanted to bring up this subject again-- no harm meant.

I would be willing to bet that he will have far more than $46.00 dollars in his Amazon part by the time he gets done modifying it to fit. Ask me how I know. Bob
