[QUOTE="cfpinz, post: 1809410, member: 2383"] I can't tell you how many of those old Fords I've owned with the dual fuel tanks (still have a 96 and 97 with them) and I've learned to never move the selector switch unless the truck is running. They can do some weird stuff if you do so while the truck is off. I order just about all of my 7.3 parts from here: [URL]https://www.dieselorings.com/[/URL] Good people. I keep a spare CPS in the glovebox of each truck, along with a 10mm socket and a flathead screwdriver to change it. Your truck has a mechanical fuel pump in the engine valley, so no electric pump to prime with. First thing I'd do is cut the ignition switch on and then switch back to the front tank. If after a little cranking it doesn't start, then I'd pop the cover off of fuel filter and see if the bowl is full, then go from there. The fuel gauge is switched between tanks by the selector switch, so the fact that your gauges went haywire at the same time this happened leads me to believe your issue is either in the electric switch on the dash or the selector valve on the frame - I'm betting the latter. Best of luck! [/QUOTE]
