I did a quick google searcg and even wallyworld had listing for them

Thats probably the one he had. If you look inside, you'll see it's a nylon valve inside of it that does the actual work of sealing off. A quick check on AMAZON reviews shows ALOT of complaints with them. All the ones I've ever done, we just put a valve to each tank. Costs a few dollars more, but always works.

Ferms right. That's the exact one I had. Two of em from two different manufacturers to be exact. Friggin pieces of junk!!!

I ended up at Tractor Supply and got two 5/16 universal fuel valves. Cobbled together a brass T with using NPT brass 3 way and hose barbs (yellow Teflon tape, fuel rated) with the valves on either side, pulling from the two fuel sources. This seems far and away better so far, albeit not hooked it all up and tested yet. I will see if wifey will let me borrow her puter to upload a pic or three once I've tested this rube Goldberg contraption. hahahaha
