Why is my 98 Pete’s fuel level always lower?
NOT! From day 1, your 98 Pete’s tanks never had the same fuel levels as long as the engine is running. Going down the road, the drivers side tank level is most always lower. In addition to the fuel lines, in the top of each tank is a pressure equalizing vent which is probably the culprit.
What to do when fuel is not coming out of tank?
Disconnect return line on top of tank and see if fuel is returning to tank with the truck running. If so you should have a shut off valve on the bottom of both tanks, turn them both off and remove the fuel lines. Then open valves one at a time and see that when fuel comes out of the valve it is at the same height on both valves.
Why is fuel not drawing from passenger side tank?

The valve (block) itself has no moving parts. The only reason it has a sealed top to it was for machining purposes.
