Fuel Return ?

I have a 95 F150 with 4.9 engine and when I run the rear tank it fills the front tank. Also have a fuel bleeding issue mainly during day time when hot have to cycle key 3 to 4 times to start normal. Would these problems possibly be tied together or is the selector valve issue for filling the front tank. Be nice if they where tied together but sure I am not that lucky.

The 95 doesn't have a switch valve. The check valve in the front fuel tank "module" is bad. Yes, it's also bleeding pressure off for the same reason.

Thats what i wanted to hear so change the fuel pump in front tank and will fix two problems at the same time. just put a entire can of sea foam in it and seems to be starting fine for right now.

It's possible that the check valve gummed up or caught a bit of trash and hung open. That's not the way my luck runs though.
