1986 Ford E-350 Fuel Electric Pump Issues
One has a 1986 Ford E-350 Cutaway, running a 460 cu. in. 7.5 Liter 4-Barrel Carburetor, for a 27 Foot RV that has been plagued with fuel pump and sender malfunction issues for four years. Finally, found the problem - power to the Electric Fuel Pump Relay, Passes Through the Oil Pressure Sender Unit on the Rear of the Block, and that had an Intermittent Connection. Hope this Helps.

Hey just circling back on this thread. I have an 84 E350 with the 460. It was running great on both tanks but somehow died over the winter. It will run perfectly on the rear tank but when switching to the front the engine dies. I have repeated this while driving a few times to see if there was air in the line, not luck. I am thinking it is the front fuel tanks pump or the switch. Is there a way to test the switch?

The fuel selector valve switches the fuel gauge and aligns the tank fuel lines to the fuel line going to the engine.

No they do not run when you just turn on the key.
That is normal
Unless you know the pumps are running how do you know how much pressure you have?
You would have to put power (jumper power to) on the wire (PK/BK) coming from the starter relay (solenoid) to test the pressure.
No, they will operate when the engine is cranking or if the key is on AND you have oil pressure.
Yes they should be available from a parts house like NAPA.
But it is unlikely that both fuel pumps are bad.
There is a bypass circuit that bypass the oil switch while cranking that is operated by the starter solenoid.
I think these fuel pumps are the same as the fuel pumps used in the 1986-1989 in-tank pumps on the FI trucks and vans. I took a fuel tank from a 1997 FI van and put the tank, pump and all in my 1992 E350 with a 4V Carb. and have been running it that way for 10 years with no problems.
I think they put out between 6-8 PSI as that is what the 4V Carb wants.
Here is a electrical diagram of the fuel system:
