I guess I'm just slow on the uptake but for the life of me I can't figure the purpose of the fuel tank switch mounted through the floorboard in my '73 Wagoneer. I mean, if both tanks fill from the same filler neck and the aux. tank gravity flows into the main tank which has the only gauge sender what would a person accomplish by moving the selector lever back and forth? Isolation of the rear tank to function as a very large jerry can? Is it even possible to run off the auxiliary tank independent of the front tank?
My system has been bypassed by the PO to only run out of the main tank. I'm trying to contact him to see if he bypassed the aux tank because of a leak or if it was too hard to fill or he doubted the accuracy of the gas gauge? I don't know.
I've dug through the site searching everything that I could find by searching but I haven't seen the answers to my questions.
Thanks in advance for your help.
