Do you have a source for the marine version of the Pollack valve?

from a message on the 'net about putting fuel injection on a Bronco:
<<If you have dual tanks you will need a 6-port electric solniod valve to
switch supply and return lines from each tank. 

I thought we proved that was not the case with dual high pressure pumps.
One in each tank. If you don't put them in the tanks you risk vapor
lock. They don't suck very well anyway. All you MIGHT need is a 3 port
valve for the return line. I know you know this norm2 but I don't want
to confuse people. PL

A company, Pollak, makes such
a valve, part #42-159 for the selector and 42-203 for the electrical
connector. Although the valve is all plastic, we have had no reports of
problems. The valve has 3/8" tube fittings for the supplies, and 5/16" tube
fittings for the return. Pollak also makes a marine unit, part #42-159S,
which is of stainless construction. Pollak can be reached at (617) 282-9550.
They run about $40. NAPA also makes a valve that looks similar. >>

I don't know if the phone number is still good or not, they have been bought
out.  (By a great guy, I might add!)
