Fuel Pump Recs?
Hello everyone,
I recently purchased a 95 F-150 5.8L with dual tanks. I am having an issue where when I run the rear tank, the front tank overflows. What I’ve read so far is that I need to replace the pumps. Though I don’t know if the sender valve comes with the pump kits or is that separate? Or am I completely off base here?
Also if anyone has any recommendations on which fuel pumps they have had luck with or no luck with, please share.
thank you!

Unfortunately, I don’t think you’ll have luck finding Motorcraft anywhere, maybe NOS on eBay. They discontinued them a couple of yrs ago.
Spectra, I’ve used and was ok other than noisy, I replaced it with a Motorcraft. A couple other off brands as well, but no longevity out of them, and I don’t remember the brand names - cheapo parts store pumps.
If I had to choose right now, I’d go with Delphi.
I’d also buy the whole FDM, pump and sender complete. Rather than trying to reuse the old sender with a new pump. Hang onto your original Motorcraft part though.
FDM = Fuel Delivery Module
Rockauto = Fuel Pump and Housing Assembly.

I just did both on my 91 2 years. Every pump on rockauto that "fit"my truck did not have built in check valve. They would've been fine for a single tank. I lucked up on ebay and got two OEM old stock

Until you fix it just run your front tank down/out first and then switch to your rear. By the time the rear is done you'll have a 1/4 to 1/2 tank in the front again. No overflowing. I've operated my 95 like this(only reversed) for the last decade atleast and neither pump has given out or caused any other issues.
