Default 87 4.9L Not Getting Fuel

was bogging down when driving got to 3rd gear and it would quit running, assumed fuel pump. Fuel pump was not running in front tank, inline is running - I dropped tank and replaced pump - now i hear both pumps - still not getting fuel to motor -=- I disconnected the fuel line where it comes into the dual function reservoir, no fuel comes out when key is on, i can hear pump running in the tank.... Any ideas on where to go from here?

Either rebuild, replace, or bypass the DFR. Click this, read the caption, and the NEXT several:

If you want a more-permanent fix, you could swap in the fuel pumps & lines from a '90-91 dual-tank gas F-series with the same wheelbase as yours. They have no frame pump or frame reservoir.

Thank you. I will try the bypass fuel lines to see if it is the selector.
