Re: 72 Dual tanks valve
Allen,not to be rude,but you sound a bit confused or are cofusing me(take a pick
 ).What 4x4 bowhunter is refering to the`72-only factory option driver side auxilary tank that was the first dual tank offered by GM.It sounds like you have a single aftermarket tank that most installed on both sides but some only mounted one of.My`72 GMC didn`t have that option.My`72 Chevys do/did.Factory:  Factory:  Aftermarket w/door:  Aftermarket w/o door:  Some filled in the front of the wheelwell,too.I hope this helps.

Step one: Put a 1/2 inch breaker bar in the square hole in the bottom of the tank fastener. WHEN it rounds out or simply spins the top bolt head in the bed, move to step two. Step two: Support the bottom of the tank on a jack stand, put a flap disk in your grinder, and grid the heads off the two carriage bolts that are in your bed that are on the top of the fasteners you just ruined in step 1. To put it back together, I bought 1/2 inch carriage bolts and 1/2 inch threaded rod. I welded the two together to make to carriage bolts the length I needed. My tank came out because it was leaking. The guy at the radiator shop that fixed my leaks was impressed with the construction of the extra tank. It is made out of steel plate. You'll probably be long gone before it rusts out. I put a coat of POR-15 on the outside of mine since I had it out anyways. I also made a 2nd hole in the top and dropped in a fuel level float as mine came with no such equipment. I believe the gauge and float were on the order of $15 at JC Whitney. Money well spent in my opinion.
