dual fuel tank problem
Hey everybody i have a 87 ford f250 custom and it has the dual tanks. i filled both tanks and run the rear tank and the needle doesnt move, i switch to the front tank which was full and i have only been running the rear tank and the front tank is at half empty. while the rear tank hasnt used any fuel. any suggestions?

ok well here is the weird part. last night i had my neighbor helping me and he is a big time nerd when it comes to wiring and diagnosing electrical problems. we were getting power to which ever tank we selected. The funny part is that you cant hear the fuel pumps. so im getting power to the rear tank when its selected and it shuts the power off to the front tank but the front tank is the one having all the fuel used up and the only valve after the fuel tanks is the selector valve or "dual tank resivor valve".

The cross-flow issue you are describing is VERY common on this vintage truck.

The link I posted above describes how the reservoir works. More than likely the switching valve is stuck in one position.
