Hesitation problems

I have a 94 F-150 4.9L. A few weeks ago it would not start so I switched to the rear tank and it started fine (the front tank was full). Later that day it started spuutering like it was out of gas (still on the rear tank) so I switched back to the front and it ran fine. I stopped off a few places on the way home and after coming out of the store it would not start again on the front tank, again switching to the rear it started fine. Just about everyday during lunch it sputters on the rear tank and switching to the front does not always work. It will clear up for a few minutes if you accelerate, after a 5-10 minutes it will run fine again. Any suggestions??

Try a new fuel filter. Could be clogged.
