If you own an F150 from 1987 Through 1996 with the dual tanks there are a few simple rules.
1. The rear fuel pump almost always goes out first. In both of my trucks it has always been the rear fuel pump that died first. Never the front.
2. When the rear fuel pump dies, the rear fuel tank is almost always full of fuel.
3. It is always easier to remove the bed of the truck, even by yourself than it is to try to drop the fuel tank, especially by yourself.
4. When removing the bed of the truck there is always that one bolt that is frozen or rusted up that starts turning from the top so that you cannot get anything to hold it.
5. You will always forget to replace the aforementioned bolt.
6. When you remove the tailgate in order to remove the bed, you are almost always going to mash your finger when you try to keep the tailgait from falling.
7. Removing the fuel lines are a royal pain in the butt.
8. You cat will always decide to lay on your chest when you are under the truck trying to remove the bolts.
9. The replacement gasket that came with your fuel pump has settled so that it is not in shape to properly fit. (Laying it out in direct sunlight while you remove the bed will help, so will boiling it in water.)
10. once you get the new fuel pump in and installed you will mash your fingers putting the tailgate back on.
11. You can drive your truck for ten years running on the front tank only but the moment you install the new rear fuel pump, the front one goes out.
12. Even with these problems and many more you might encounter, it’s still better than owning a Chevy.
