Archived from groups: alt>ford>trucks (more info?)

is it possible that the fuel tank selecter switch in my truck could cause my
intank fuel pump not to run? I have an 88 F150 with the 4.9l 6cyl. the guy I
got it from ran it out of fuel in his driveway. Now after adding fuel and
changing the fuel filter, still no fuel. The high pressure pump on the frame
was just changed and is working. Any idea's? I have a feeling I am going to
be changing the in-tank pump. Thanks in advance.

possible clogged screen filter
verify pump runs do following
skide under drivers side of truck about where the drivers door is there
you should find a switching valve.....disconnect one hose at a time
coming from the fuel tanks....turn on key and note fuel flow rate

if you do have fuel comming out of both could be witching valve
if one lines has no or lower fuel flow then could be fuel pump

you may have to raise the bed to get to the fuel pump connectors

disconnect the connector and insert volt meter have someoene cycle the
key note if there is any voltage the fuel pump should try to run for a
few seconds when the key is turned on

if you do find voltaege but fuel pump not delivering fuel, replace fuel
pump....

if you have two tanks and one runs out of fuel but problem is with
switching valve...switch the hoses feeding the switching valve and you
should be fine....

few minutes I would have figured that out..anyways it is running just fine
