Of course. Rubber, plastic, clamps, they can break. Just be as carefull as you can, if it breaks it was probably weak anyway.

Just connect the 2 lines from the right tank to the 2 lines from the motor, once you do that you dont have to cap anything. The valve and left tank will be rendered usles at that point.

Re: Can anyone help me?

If your truck starts, your selector valve is bad or the switch in the cab is bad.
Selector valve is$99 at LMC and cab switch is $15.

No problem, just get a new selector valve and get a new cab switch for good measure, then you can use both tanks again.

Building a small, high rpm engine with the perfect bore, stroke and rod ratio is very impressive.
It's like a highly skilled Morrocan sword fighter with a Damascus Steel Scimitar.....

Cubic inches is like Indiana Jones with a cheap pistol.
