I would check all the switching fuel valves. One might have gotten stuck shut or isn't working properly. Replace them as necessary. I would also check that the fuel lines aren't clogged or blocked.
you see where the fuel tank is at? look inside of the directly above if thres a removal oval or door cap. if not you have to remove the fuel tank, the pump is inside the fuel tank, diconnect battry before anything and lift up the rear *** of the car. the two straps you remove to bring the tank down. if the tanks ios full of fuel its heavy get help. remover hoses that are atached to the tanks and harness. drag it out and youll see the assemby reaplace the mesh once youre there too. then assemble is revererse sequence. good luck
this is for gas tank behind axle, not in front of axle.
SECTION 310-01A: Fuel Tank and Lines—Gasoline and Diesel
1999 Econoline Workshop Manual
REMOVAL AND INSTALLATION
Fuel Tank — Aft-of-Axle
Special Tool(s)
Fuel Line Disconnect Tool 310-5039 (T90T-9550-5)
High-Lift Transmission Jack 014-00942 or equivalent Removal WARNING: Do not smoke or carry lighted tobacco or open flame of any type when working on or near any fuel related component. Highly flammable mixtures are always present and may be ignited, resulting in possible personal injury. WARNING: Fuel in the fuel system remains under high pressure even when the engine is not running. Before repairing or disconnecting any of the fuel lines or fuel system components, the fuel system pressure must be relieved to prevent accidental spraying of fuel, causing personal injury or a fire hazard. NOTE: The 55 gallon aft-of-axle fuel tank (9002) is shown; the 35 gallon aft-of-axle fuel tank is similar.
Disconnect the battery ground cable.
Relieve the fuel pressure; refer to Section 310-00A .
Drain the fuel from the fuel tank; refer to Section 310-00A .
Raise and support the vehicle; refer to Section 100-02 .
NOTE: In this illustration, the vehicle body is shown removed for clarity. Disconnect the fuel tank filler pipe (9034) and the filler vent tube from the fuel tank.
Position the jack under the fuel tank.
Remove the 3 bolts.
Remove the 3 nuts.
Remove the fuel tank support straps (9092).
Partially lower the fuel tank.
Disconnect the fuel lines from the fuel pump (9350); refer to Section 310-00A .
Disconnect the fuel pump and fuel tank sending unit electrical connector.
On gasoline fuel tanks, disconnect the hose(s) from the evaporative emission valve (9B593).
On gasoline fuel tanks only, disconnect the fuel tank pressure sensor electrical connector.
Lower the fuel tank.
If the fuel tank is being replaced, transfer the fuel pump, fuel tank sending unit, the evaporative emission valves and the fuel tank pressure sensor (gasoline fuel tanks) or the plug (diesel fuel tanks) to the new fuel tank.
its not too bad a job , try to drain out the remaining fuel somehow to eliminate extra weight and chance of spilling fuel, remove filler tube connections that connect to the body , remove the straps that support the tank(s), lower tank(s) withhelp whenever possible, remove connecting wires to the float/fuel pump assembly, then replace with new tank in reverse matter, if have spare tire under tank just remove out of the way, also disconnect the battery to avoid any type of sparks when working around fuel fumes, actually not to hard of a job , just usually dirty and time consuming for the first time , also if you cant get the support straps to unbolt you can always cut them off and replace with new ones.
