1988 Ford F-150 Fuel Pump

Hello and thank you for responding to my question. When my vehicle stopped I was in the process of swithching fuel tank from front to rear. However when I switched back it would not pick up the fuel that remained in the front tan and so I had to be towed to Grizzly Automotive in Sicamoose, B.C. They determined both fuel pumps gave out. They replaced the pump in the front tank but not the rear tank. I paid them $773.79 for the work. They advise that although the rear pump was not replaced it would run but be short on power. I was not sure of how it would run again after completely shutting down and no repairs done to it. I was in a vulnerable situation as the Ford dealer in town could not look at it for 2 days. I was afraid to try the rear tank for fear the shut down might happen again. However when I was back in my driveway I made rge switch and it ran perfectly except that the guage now does not work for the rear tank. Does all this seem right to you? I am glad it is running again and although I only use the van once a year, I don, t want an reoccurance. I bought the van new in 1988. It is a touring van with 120,000 kilometers on it. It is stored inside and like new. Thanks again for your input. Henry
