Re: planning out dual tank fuel system for LS swap

I have a stock 5.3 fuel regulator on the fuel rail, so I have both the pressure and return lines running to the engine.

I have a new switching valve which is rated for mid-60s psi and it plugs into the stock 87 wiring harness. I replaced all the lines with gates EFI rubber hose from the tanks to the switch valve, and then AN line from the switch to the engine.

Lastly I moved the switching valve to the driver side so the lines can run down the driver side of the frame and up to the fuel rail which is on the driver side of my engine. That's not required but its what I did
You have a link to the switching valve by chance?

The new motorized Pollack valves should be rated for 65PSI.
You'll want to check the rating before you take it out of the store.

That is correct - I got a new pollak valve. Had a sticker that it was 65 psi rated on it - I bought mine off ebay.
