rear tank oro
Im pretty sure that my back tank is not getting all the gas out of it. If it were then I would be getting 8 mog in the back tank and 14 or so in the frint, so this leaves me to believe that it is not getting all the gas by more than a small bit. So, what is some problems to look at, it is a 96 5.8 ext cab short bed. Thanks for the help

Anyone? Does thetank have a tube coming down into it like a straw? Or is it in the bottom? If it were the top could it be the tube having holes in it? Is this a commonly asked question, because I cant find anything about not getting all the gas out a tank.

My issue (I think), is the fuel pump to my back tank supplies more fuel then the engine needs and the extra is returned to my front tank. I don't use the front tank as it has fuel pump issues, and it always has fuel in the tank. Front tank has even overflowed a couple of time through gas cap. I need to try and drain it to just see how much is not being returned to rear tank.

IIRC there was a recall or TSB on exactly this issue. That might also be the problem faced by the OP.
