Fuel issues
i have an 87 f250 4x4 with the dual tank setup well i just bought the truck,
as is not running, today i got it running for 2 minutes untill it cut out and stalled, so i checked all 3 pumps and they are working fine, then i found the problem, each tank has 2 fuel lines coming from the in tank pumps, then they go to a round black thing where all 4 lines go in and two come out the other end and proceed to the in line pump then the filter, my question is what is that black round thing before the out of tank pump, i tried going to auto zone but they were no help to me,
thx

It's called a Dual Function Reservoir. As posted previously, it acts like a buffer in case the low pressure in-tank fuel pump does not supply enough fuel to the high pressure fuel pump which is mounted on the two-outlet side of the DFR. It is also a mechanical switching valve between tanks. (You're welcome) One side of the DFR has 2 lines; a fuel supply going to the high pressure pump and then to the fuel pressure regulator then the injectors, and a fuel return line coming back from the fuel pressure regulator (that will return unused fuel back to the tank from which it came). The other side that has 4 lines has a low pressure fuel feed from the front tank and a fuel return to the front tank, a low pressure fuel feed from the rear tank, and a fuel return to the rear tank.
