You actually have a total of 3 pumps on this truck. You have a helper pump in each tank and a pressure pump located inline just under the drivers side cab area, attached to the frame underneath the truck. The most frequent problem in this area is the valve that switches between the two tanks. Ford did correct this problem in later years, but in the 87 to 91 model years, they all had the potential for this very issue. Try running your truck on both tanks. If one operates correctly and the other does not, and provided you have changed out the in tank pump of both tanks and the one located on the frame, then I would say your problem is most likely the tank changing mechanism.

SOURCE: 1992 ford f150 duel tank problem, hard to start

The tanks have to be removed in order to change the fuel float sensors.

The hard to start issue could be related to a fuel filter that is full of sediment. The fuel filter could be in the engine compartment before the intake to the engine, but it is more likely an inline filter after the fuel pump on the frame rail. Change the filter and see if that help.

You have a problem in the fuel pump relay circuit for sure then. I'm betting the relay, but it could be that dropping resistor.

I have a 1988 Ford F250 with the 460 engine and duel tanks it is factory fuel injected.....the front tank ran out of gas so I switched it to the rear tank( the same as many times before) the truck died and...

The fuel pump relay and the oil pressure switch as well. The oil pressure switch runs power to the fuel pump when you first start it
When the oil pressure reaches operating range the relay takes over
They are both inexpensive so replace both of these parts to be safe and kill two birds with one stone. If one goes out the other will soon enough

Have a 96 ford f250,cannot get fuel to carburator,wheres fuel relay and how do i solve my problem

First you'll want to check all your fuses in the interior fuse panel and replace any that are questionable. the fuel pump relay is located under the hood, sometimes mounted on the firewall but usually located in the main fuse box under the hood. After checking the fuses, put your keys in the ignition and turn it to K>O>E>O. Key On Engine Off, and listen to see if you hear the in tank fuel pump start buzzing and then cut off. It doesn't stay on at that point, it's just pressuring up the fuel system preparing to start. It might take a couple of times until you hear it. If you don't hear anything at all, and your fuses are good, Your in tank fuel pump is the more likely the culprit. It's about due for one being that its 13 years old. Merry Christmas.

I have a 1990 f250 that i suspect has a bad fuel pump. It has duel tanks. Is there a main fuel pump that can fail?

usually yes there is one main fuel pump. usually located on the drivers side of the engine block down low. Or on the frame rail in that general vicinity depending on what engine you have.

1996 ford f250 truck 4x4 5 speed 460 will not start.duel tanks-was running,tank one empty-switch to tank two-engine died-won't start.

Running tank one empty could have picked up **** from the bottom of the tank and clogged the in line filter that feeds the engine. It should be located under the truck on the left inner frame rail around the back of the cab area. Replace it don't try to clean it out it will just clog again. They are not that expensive from the locale parts house. DHR... EX Ford Line Mech

Fuel pumps will not run!

Hey lets try this ! Locate your starter solenoid & look for a yellow wire marked with a "W" . That may be the fusible link for fuel pump. Let me know what you find.

My 1997 F250 has duel gas tanks. After a few days of being parked, I went to start it and it would not start. I switched to the rear tank and it started. I have a Haynes repair manual covering the 1997...

I would start by checking you switch for the tanks to make sure it is working right and if the front tanks fuel pump does not work after you check the switch I would get a 12 volt electrical test light and see if your getting power to the front fuel pump if your getting power to it I would say you have a bad pump . But some times the pump will run but the diaphragm gets weak in them.
