85 E350 Ford not switching from Fnt to RR fuel tank




By happycamp on Jun 26, 2009

" "
My moms 85 Ford E350 chassis motorhome wont switch to the rear gas tank. When the you flip the selector switch at the dash, you can hear a click from the transfer switch on the frame. The rear tank is full of gas. The generator's gas feed comes out of a tee on the rear tank line (between the tank and transfer switch), and the generator runs fine. The transfer switch is a 6 hose unit. I have heard that not switching between tanks is caused by the transfer switch. Any help would be great - espically how to test out or confirm that the the switch is good or bad!
