95' Ford F150

Hi guys,

My name is Michael, I'm 18 years old and i barely no anything about trucks. I own a 95' Ford F150 5.8L V8 and the front tank doesn't work. I can start the truck and run the truck on the back tank and it will run fine, but when I go to start it on the front tank absolutely nothing happens. I tried running it on the back tank and switching it to the front tank and when i did that it stayed running but it wasn't a high idle, it would like bog down and not run right. If you have any information that might help me with this problem please send me an E-mail at Sax_Genius@yahoo.com. Thank You for your help

Michael McElhaney

Sounds like a bad fuel pump to me. Consider yourself fortunate that you have dual tanks.

Yes, bad fuel pump. My 95 does the exact same thing and since it is my beater I didn't fix it because the rear tank pump still works fine.

So theres a pump for each tank? OK I learned something here too, I never had dual tanks. Makes sense.
