Front Tank Issues

1997 F250 with dual tanks.

I installed an E-Fuel system on this truck last year and haven't really had any issues with it.

Yesterday the truck fell on its face. Felt like it lost fuel pressure, and then like a light switch, started running like glass.

Here's where my question comes in. I never let my front tank get below an eight of a tank. I'm pretty religious about that. This morning the truck does the same thing, so I switch back to the front tank (which should be an eight full) and it's reading completely empty. I remember there being a recall on gasoline trucks for emptying the rear tank into the front. But it never applied to diesels.

Any pointers on how to go about this?
