After 4 years of not using my front fuel tank because it would leak fuel, I decided to replace it. (Truck is a 93 F150 XLT extended cab with 5.0 and duel fuel tanks)

The day before I replaced it, I flipped the switch to the front fuel tank to see if it had any fuel left. The fuel gauge needle went paste the Full line, the truck sputtered and died as if it wasn't getting any fuel.

Today I replaced the rusty fuel tank, inside I found a little fuel left inside, but it was orange from all the rust. I am concerned that the old fuel pump may need replacing. Correct me if I am wrong here, but I should replace it because it has been sitting there for 4 years, it has been sucking up rusty fuel.

What do you guys think?

 

Not necessarily, make sure you replace filters.
