Default Blitz fuel tank switch sucks air

Both fuel tanks on my F15 are connected and supply fuel to the engine. However, the left hand fuel tank wasn't getting any fuel to the engine lately. So finally, I figured out by bypassing the fuel tank switch that this switch sucks air. I opened it and there were a lot of scratches which must allow the air to be sucked in. She runs very nice on the right hand tank.

So I was wondering, how you solved that problem? And please don't tell my I should only drive on the right tank Are there any modern replacement parts or NOS fuel tank switches around?

Thanks a lot for your input.

Greetings
Chris
