    What you have is a solenoid valve that switches the tanks, and the gage to reflect the fuel level of the tank you are using. It sounds to me like that selector valve is defective. I would suggest a trip to the dealers parts department and see how much it costs to get a new valve and either replace it yourself or pay them to do it.

    450donn is exactly correct! Replace the valve and you are good to go
