leaking gas at the cap
hello all...looking for a little advice here. recently bought a 95 F150 with dual tanks. filled both tanks up for a short trip last week and noticed the guage drop towards "E" faster than it should have. thought maybe it had a smaller tank than i originally thought. after getting home i smelled gas in my garage. found out that gas was leaking from the cap on the front tank. when i open the rear tank cap, there is an excessive amount of "gasp"/suction-release as i loosen the cap. the front tank guage is not emptying at all....
1) am i sucking gas from my rear to my forward tank?
2) why is this happening?
3) how do i prevent this/fix this?
thank you in advance for your consideration and help.

Tank selector valve is faulty.
Yes there was a recall.
No you can not get the recall cuz the truck is too old.
Replace tank selector valve and all will be well.
