Subject: Problem with fuel delivery on a 1988 Ford 150 with dual tanks

I have a 1988 F150 with dual tanks.

Let me preface that I have not worked on the truck related to this problem.

A few months ago the rear tank pump stopped working. It was replaced but soon failed again. It was then determined that the device that feeds the fuel from the two tanks to the single line must be bad and that was replaced.

Again I am not getting fuel.

What happens is the truck will drive along for awhile when switched to the back tank, then cut out. Switch to the front tank, kicks right back in, switch back to the back pump, will run anywhere from 1/2 mile to 5 miles then quite again until turned back to the front pump.

This has not been a Ford dealership working on the truck but a, usually, excellent private mechanic. He can't figure out what the problem is.

The switch seems to be ok as their is electricity to the pump.

When the second rear pump died, it was felt that the device (mentioned above) was the culprit, preventing the fuel pump from properly delivering the gas and burning it out. However, as mentioned that device was also replaced, and the problem continues.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

This is a 5.0 liter truck, AOD, and I am the original owner. It has 115k miles.
