1995 f150 fuel pump issues

Hey guys I have an issue with my fuels system on my 95 f150 with a 302. It has dual fuel tanks and at points both of them work. The back one will work all the time when I switch it on and it fine. The front one on the other had will go in and out. I'll be running on the back tank and switch to the front tank and it will cut off. I check to see if the pump is running and it isn't. Then sometimes when I switch it from the back tank to the front it will run and the pump and everything is running fine. I need to use the front tank because the common problem with these 90's fuel tank issues has struck with the back tank pumping fuel into the front tank. I know the fuel selector switch is fine because when I turn the key to check if the front pump will turn on there is current going to pump. I'm not too sure what to do. My thinking is to replace the pump but from what I've always understood is that when the pump goes out it's not going come and go but it's just going to go. I need some suggestions from those of you who may have dealt with this problem before. Thanks.

Bingo! ^^^ What he (StrangeRanger) says ^^^^

See my post below ("Hit a few bumps... stalled"). I had similar fuel system issues. Finally gave up trying to diagnose it myself and took it to the shop. Corroded wires causing low/no power to the fuel pumps. They billed me one hour to fix.
