I need the electrical diagram for 1990 F250 dual gas tanks

The bed was replaced and I could not get to front tank, it was always empty. The back tank started leaking, and had to replace it. Driving home, truck stalled. I switched tanks, thinking it might be the problem. Started running and now the front tank is leaking. Need to get gas to pump from back tank.

SOURCE: '96 f150,4.9 six,dual fuel tanks,replaced front

I have a 1996 f150 and I had the same problem. I finally found out that the rear fuel pump is the main pump, and if it goes out then the front pump will not work either. There is a groud that both pump share on the rear cross member. If you are not getting good connection with the ground the fuel pumps will not work. Also if you replace the rear pump and it still does not work then your problem could be the fuel tank selector switch, it acts as a relay if it goes out then neither pump will work.

SOURCE: Rear Fuel tank doesnt work so my 1990 ford f 150

Hello
Having worked for Ford for 25 years and having seen this very same problem (fuel flows between tank and overflows) many times there is only one cause of the fuel flooding the other tank, the fuel switching valve on the frame rail under the truck is detective, this valve contains special silicone rubber poppet valves that open when the front or wear tank fuel pump is selected, it then seals when the tanks electric pump is shut off at the selector switch, your poppet valves are leaking, all to a common problem. Back in 2000 when I retired this switching valve was no longer sold by Ford parts, it is obsolete. I suggest you check with Ford to see if it is available from some other source or call a local parts store like NAPA or Carquest and inquire is anyone in the aftermarket has them. The last choice is a used one, but of course it could have the same problem as yours as age and deterioration of the rubber valves is what makes them leak.

Gas seems to be coming from the top of plastic gas tank and running down the left side of the tank and dripping on the ground

I know it sounds a bit difficult but fuel leaking is serious danger so with this id siphon tank dry (don't use a drill pump ) and undo fasteners and hoses/wires that hold it too truck , lowering it to ground , a carefull inspection of approx. area of leak will tell the problem , your looking for cracks in plastic or rubber hoses , these might be very small and fine look closely
if cracks are in the tank , unless you know someone with a ultrasonic welder id replace the tank

IF I DON'T USE ONE OF MY DUAL TANKS DO I NEED TO CUT IT OFF SOMEWAY

I had same problem with a 90 f250. I unplugged the rear pump. An straight wired the switch. Gas gos bad to fast for me to use 2 tanks. An I filled it w water and antifreeze after cutting the line for extra weight. And Put a locking cap on
far as cleaning the tank. I always drop tha tank, pull the pump off, and clean with a rag and new gas.
Use a tester an make shire u have power to Gage part of pump connectn. No power its a fuse or ground issue. If u have power, bad sending unit.

Backfiring is not going to have anything to do with the level of fuel in the tank. You most likely have burned valves or broken valve springs in your engine. I would do a compression test.

Dual gas tanks, and one registers on the gauge and now the other registers empty. This just started to happen and for no apparent reason. Is there a simple fix or where should I start ?

If it reads empty, you probably have a short in the sender wiring to the tank, or the sender is bad. If you disconnect the electrical connector to the gauge near the tank, the gauge should then read full. You can then test the electrical resistance of the sender with the tank full and with it empty.

Need to replace 1990 isuzu pickup fuel pump 2.6 what is the way to do this? How long should it take?

electric fuel pump is in that gas tank. you can do this 2 ways. one is take the bed off. un hook all your wires and remove the bolts out of the bed then get 3 buddies and remove the bed. so you can get to the top of the tank to get the fuel pump. or you can get a floor jack and support the tank and remove the tank straps and slowly ease the tank down so you can unhook the wires and hoses. then remove the tank all the way and work on removing the pump.

My 1989 f250 has dual tanks, it only wants to pull gas from the rear tank and the return fuel fills the front tank. we have replaced the dash switch and the pump twice. it seems to work for a short time...

Make sure you have the check valves in place on the lines at the sending units on the tanks. If the switching valve on the frame rail goes bad it can push fuel back up the return to the opposite tank than you are pulling from causing fuel to push up and out the inlet. If these were not removed and replaced on the new sending units they will have to be purchased from the dealer.

1988 F250 4x4 Rear gas tank leaks when full. Looking for photos or diagram of installation of rear tank parts and tank

Changed both tanks in my 90 F-250 4x4 last year. Get a repair manual Haynes or Chilton, for $20 or so online or at parts store. I have both which have good diagrams and tips for gas tank replacement and everything else. Some big parts store chains have some of this info online.
Gas is to $$$$$ to leak any, besides, you don't want to blow up when someone throws a cigarette under your truck.. good luck, countrycurt0
