engine miss

I Have a 1996 F 250 with 5.8 gas burner. The truck will idle fine. As I start down the road it will begin to miss and sputter like it is running out of fuel. If I am on the front tank I can flip to the back tank and immediately flip back to front tank and the truck will run like new for about 1/4 mile then start the process back over. As long as I will flip tanks back and forth the truck will continue to run ok.
