Default Fuel Issues.

I've got a '92 f-150 with the dual tanks. I believe that both are rusty and need to be replaced. However I'm not sure what else I should replace at the same time. Is it necessary to replace both at the same time. Should I replace the Fuel pumps/senders? Should I replace the Fuel Lines as well?
I don't know much about workin on stuff like this. Any help you could give would be great. Thanks.

Welcome, based on your description, it would make me replace anything in the tank and filter at least.

If you are going through the effort to drop and replace the tanks, a quality fuel pump should be included along with a new filter.

Thank you much. I'll probably end up replacing everything back of the fuel filter. I'm open to any suggestions though.

If you are removing the bed, check out the bed frame for rust. If needed sand it down and put Rustoleum on it. The rear shocks are easy to get to if they need replacing.

Just replace the fuel pump to be safe. When the pump does go out, it is such a pain...😥

OK, I'll do that. Would there be any reason to replace the fuel lines as well? Could rust be in them too?
I'm also wondering about the EVAP system. I've heard of some folks taking it of their trucks. Would there be any reason to get rid of it?
Thanks for all your help.

No, and no. The rust is stopped by the pump filter. Please don't remove the Evap, especially if you park in a garage. Removing it will make the truck smell like gas. It might make the wife mad too lol.

You could remove the AIR system tho. You'll see a difference with that, not the Evap.
