Fuel Gauge/Tank Problems

hey guys, I just started driving my 85 F250 6.9 IDI Project truck that had been sitting for a couple of years from the guy I bought it off of. Runs great however, the front tank reads empty all the time until it starts to run low; then it starts to move toward Full. As for the back tank I have no clue if I even reads/ holds fuel. Ive noticed diesel leaking from it even though I can not pump diesel in. At the gas station the diesel pump just kicks off every second. Any advice would help greatly. Thanks
