FTM crossover question

Looking for advice from anyone who has been there. I'm getting fuel from the rear into the front in my '97 F-250, but fuel delivery is fine from either tank.
The question is can I run just the front tank or empty the front tank first to avoid the cost of replacing the FTM? Money is tight since I just came off of short term disability so I'm hoping to avoid that kind of a bill.

Yes just run the front tank down first so when you switch to the rear at least there is somewhere for the extra fuel to go besides out on the ground.
