Fueling issues

Recently bought an 88 F250 Idi 7.3. Guy that sold it to me said to put the back wheel up on a 4x4 when filling to get fuel into the tank. Still doesn’t work great. Front and rear tanks both never take in more than a couple gallons each and that fuel takes FOREVER to go in because it won’t go down the line without backing up. It seems like they only have a few gallons of free space in the tanks. I have run out of fuel and only been able to add a few gallons before it seems too full to add any more. It seems to me like my fuel pumps are set way to high or something and only skimming off the top couple inches of the tanks. I also think there’s an issue with the fill hose making it back up. Any help is appreciated
