I have a Diesel 1995 F350 with dual tanks. I cannot make the truck draw gas out of the rear tank, I press the switch and it does not change tanks.

We have checked fuses but someone thought it could be a relay switch?

SOURCE: 88 Ford F250 rear gas tank will not work

Sounds like the rear fuel pump in the tank is not working and the float or sender is bad also. check to see if the rear pump is working should make a humming noise.

SOURCE: Fuel Tanks reversed , Gauge not reading?

The Ford trucks were recalled for the tank switch replacement. Somehow the switches would pump fuel from one tank to the other. This would cause the one tank to overflow and or result in a fire from hot exhaust temps coming into contact with the fuel. Check the dash tank switch. It is probably bad.

SOURCE: F150 dual fuel tank problem

I have to say i'm only guessing, but it sounds like the valve that switches the flow of gas from one tank to the other must be sticking part way open, or bypassing or something, and anything your engine doesn't require, is being returned to the front tank, instead of the rear.

SOURCE: when I switch from my front fuel tank to my rear tank gas stops

There is no selector valve on a 1995 ford f150 300 engine. The selector switch on the dash sends power to the pump in the selected tank. The pump then sends fuel to the engine. If engine won't run on the selected switch, the pump in that tank needs replaced.

1995 f350 gas motor died and won't run when I switched fuel tanks? Selector valve or fuel pump? Can I bypass selector valve?

Very inexpensive part, recommend replacing the fuel switch valve. You can buy it at any local auto parts store. If you choose not to, you could replace with a plastic t-fitting but then it would draw from either tank at any time, not recommended.

Truck with dual tanks wont run unless i mess with tank select switch what to look for?

I would start with a new switch. If the rear tank is showing full and you know the tank is empty it could be a bad ground.

I have a 1991 ford f350 and i was told it has a 7.3L in it, is this true and how many gallons does the tank hold?

The 7.3 is the only diesel engine available for that year and model, so if it's a diesel, yes, it's the 7.3. Gas engine availability was the 4.9 (in 2 wd only), 5.8, and 7.5-all these are gas engines.************************* I believe you have dual tanks? They should hold 17 to 18 gallons each.
