Removing my saddle tanks and installing rear tank. Was wondering about deletion of selector valve, electrically is it simple as just removing it ,capping off harness thats plugged into it and extending the wire that originally went to driver side tank to new sending unit?

Not much help, but I just bolted mine to the frame rail and reconnected the wiring. I bypassed it with the plumbing but the tank selector has to be set to the right tank. Not ideal but it works and I can move the tank selector switch to the opposite tank for theft protection.

Half tempted to place a 30-gal above the axle, notched in to te bed.
Thinking a "aircraft-style quick-fill" to easly fill from both sides and pro-long
gas station appearances.
