fuel problem 1997 f250
I have a 1997 f250 2wd 8800lb with dual tanks with the 5.8l. Recently the truck will all of a sudden stop running, always at idle. I switch to the other tank and after 5 secs. of cranking it starts. Switch back to the front tank runs fine. Same thing happens the next day, 3 consecutive days now. Is this something I can fix at home or do I need to get the truck to a shop. Thanks

Soneone needs to do diagnostics to find out.
Either you or a shop.
I suspect it's not fuel but electrical if it dies unpredicitable and sudden.
Crank sensor plug, fuse seating, PCM relay, anything until it's run down.
Good luck.
