As far as the fuel tank valve, just cut the hoses in the middle. Feel them to make sure you aren't cutting the metal line or the plastic of the switch. Get the valve out from under the truck (and get out of the raining shower of gasoline) and you can carefully remove the old hoses from the valve then. After that, use two pieces of hose about 9" long, one 3/8" the other 1/4" to connect one of the tanks back up so the engine will run. Make sure you tell the guy which one so he doesn't put gas in the wrong side!
