You'll probably have to pull the valve and replace the O-rings now. Maybe you can cut the lines and by-pass the valve till you can get home. Whichever, your in for NO FUN.

Check your filters and you might need to run it on starting fluid for a bit to get the air out of the system. Worst case you would have to run a feed and return line to the engine and put another fuel can some where.

Where are you headed?

Recovery en route. Heading for Frederick, MD. drove this rig over
120 that last few weeks. Problem started when driving up hills with some load.

We'll figure it out. Thanks!

Ok. So here's the after-action report.

We ran out of fuel. But. We also had a repair shop that diagnosed and "repaired" the fuel system leak (that was allowing air into the system) set us up for failure. Their repair? By-pass the fuel selector and run the fuel directly to the right side tank. So. When we switch tanks, nothing happened. It wasn't connected. We simply ran the right side tank dry with no way to route the fuel from the left tank to the engine.

All fixed by yours truly. ALL new hoses to the fuel selector valve and two new o-rings in the valve itself. Found the hoses to have some dry-rot and cracking which I suppose was the culprit. Easy repair. Starts right up.

Thanks for the input all around!
