Dual fuel tank problem

Will not run on back tank, but when I fill up, that's the tank that holds the most. Gauge doesn't work on front, but shows full on back. I bought a Haynes repair manual, but can't really find what I'm looking for. Actually, I'm not sure what to look for. Any help would certainly be appreciated. Previous owner had new back tank installed. 93 F150 XLT.

Get your volt meter and or test light.
Start diagnosing fuses, relays, plugs, grounds and wiring for the fuel system.
Your Haynes manual should have wiring schematics as a starting point.

Why are you putting gas in a tank with a dead pump? The front tank must be siphoning gas from the rear. I think you might have a problem with both fuel delivery modules. Maybe you have already replaced the bad part(s). The thread is two years old.
