[AT] Ot : Ford 1984 pickup

[william.neff.powell at comcast.net]

Ok, since we are on the tank topic... My 1985 F-250 Diesel has the switch to the right of the heater control panel. Switch seems to have 3 stops on it. Front tank, in the middle of both tanks, and rear...  What happens when it is in the middle? Does it draw from both tanks? 

My rear tank sprung a leak so now I only use the front... Where can I find a replacement or get the old one sealed? 

Also, does 13 mpg seem right for the 85 diesel? 6.9 Engine. I talked to a guy that got 20 mpg on his 7.3 Diesel Ford....

Regards,

Will Powell
