Not one, but Two?

a "mod plate" may have a few different names. Requirements can vary from State to State. One example,if you do a Suspension upgrade you still cannot legally carry any more weight unless you have the mod plate.

Funny thing, when I built a tipper tray for the same vehicle I did not need a mod plate for it. I think if it is a factory option then mod plate may not be required.

A good after-market manufacturer should be able to supply the mod plate if required

The valves would be available from plumbing/irrigation supply shop. They are similar to regular ball valves except they have a third outlet in a T shape. So you have flow to the main branch from either the right or left, depending which way you turn the valve.

Aaaah - That makes sense...

I'll go and have a look for some valves and that will help me decide if "this is the option for me".

I'm figuring I could have a switch that is operated by the lever on the ball valve that turns on the lift pump in the active tank, as well as switching over the fuel sender.

Then I can decide if I should have a separate fuel/water separator (I like the idea, in principle).

Decisions, decisions...

The Hilux originally had independent filters but it seemed to be unnecessary in my opinion and only an additional expense.
