Auxiliary Fuel Tank Switch
Looking for the aux fuel tank switch, lock nut, and bezel for a 69 F250. Does anyone know the difference between the switch for a 69 and 70?

Re: Auxiliary Fuel Tank Switch
Do you just want to switch the sending unit, (like my 71' was-I might still have the bezel) or do you want to also switch the fuel tank source, (electrical solenoid operated type valve)?"Mach428"]Looking for the aux fuel tank switch, lock nut, and bezel for a 69 F250.

The EB switch is available, (for the 66 thru 77 EB) that you could use if you can't locate the bump switch, (probably one and the same if you matched part numbers I'd guess anyway).
Here's an example of the EB double throw switch-that switches the tanks:

Re: Auxiliary Fuel Tank Switch
I want to just switch which sending unit the gauge is reading. My truck has a manual fuel tank selector valve on the floor for switching tanks

Re: Auxiliary Fuel Tank Switch
As my F-350 dually tank switch was-in the floor on the left side of the seat. Can remember running down the road at 60 and running out of gas grabbing for the valve as quickly as possible to get the engine kick started before coming to a stop LOL!
If your not concerned with having the OEM bump switch and bezel the EB switch and bezel would work then.
Here's the switch with the bezel that comes with it. This replacement is essentially a double pole-double throw switch and if memory serves me right our bumps only had the single pole-double throw action so you would not use all the terminals on the new switch but it's easy enough to wire.
