First post and far from an expert on this but searched threads for a few hours and can't find the exact same issue "probably user error"
Anyways I have a 1990 7.3 idi 2wd CCLB changed fuel filter a bit over a week ago and now a few days ago I clicked my fuel selector switch to the opposite tank and fuel gauge stayed the same when it use to work. I figured maybe it blew a fuse checked and nothing. So I just blamed it on an odd quirk and hoped it would fix itself as I know 1 tank should be full still and the current one half way. Well few days later I run outta fuel. Fill it up rear tank with 2 gals make it to the station and front tank only accepts 1 gal rear tank tanks it's normal ~15 gallons. So trying to figure out first steps to figure out what broke and fix it without getting to deep replacing parts that are not broken. (Money now tight as I'm sure it is for most and this is my daily driver) I seen some forum post before saying once one tank drains if automatically starts using the second one (which I know is bad) but this did not happen since front tank was still full.
This symptom possibly a bad selector switch?
Selector vavle? Or anything else I should check.
Thanks for reading this nonsense and if there is a thread about this can you link me it.
