This is a common problem. You should be able to find something in a search.

Search for crossflow issues and you will come up with many posts.

Not too sure about a '94 but I think the issue would be the in-tank check valve.
The recall I find (93S68) affects ->1993 FPR's but there are still issues with later trucks that can be dealt with by using an external check valve (1L3Z-9J274-AA) from what I understand.
