fuel problem

I've replaced my tanks, pumps and fuel filter. My problem is that my truck does not want to start on the rear tank. It will start if you crank it long enough. Could it be a check valve on the rear tank? If I'm driving on the front tank, and switch to the rear, the truck stalls then picks up again. It's almost like there is no fuel held in the lines from the rear tank, so it has to re-pump it again.Any thoughts???

The truck is a 1992 F150 4 x 4 with a 4.9 litre(300) six. It is fuel injected.

a common occurrence on those year trucks is for the in tank pickup line to break.
