The lines won't leak if the pump isn't working. Will it start on the front tank? Did you pull the codes? See if you have power from the selector switch to the rear tank, and check the relay.

What is it doing when you turn the key? Crank/no crank. Does it has gas in tank?

Yes, the lines running to/from the fuel tank are different sizes. Pretty hard to screw up.....

Smile apart

always check, I pulled the rear tank off they said they replaced the fuel pump on 1993 f150. they did. but no o ring seal and locking ring broken. taken apart looks like a new pump, I found a small piece of rubber a little smaller than a dime and it has a small tit in the middle very thin. I dont know what this is. Thanks Raybob in ky
