my f-150 has 2 gas tanks. the only one that works is the rear tank.
when i switch to the front tank, the engine will die out. i do not know
what is wrong. is this a common problem?

Dad used to have a dual tank Chevy. Every time you shut the engine off,
fuel would transfer from 'one' tank to the 'other'. The 'one' tank being
the only one that would feed the engine, and the 'other' being the useless
reservoir that kept storing unuseable fuel. The problem turned out to be a
chafing power wire to the switching valve for the tanks. Fixed wire, tanks
were good. Other options, the valve is bad, your line in/from the 'bad'
tank is plugged?

Front tank fuel pump, maybe?
