87 F150, 302 EFI, duel tanks.The problem is that it starts but stalls right away. If I keep thepedal down it will fast idol then almost stall then serge and almoststall over and over again. I believe this is a fuel problem because itseems to have started soon after running the rear tank dry. I changedthe fuel filter on the front frame and the gas looked rusty red andcloudy and a fine sediment when let it sit in a glass. I have a crappyHynes book but I can't get much information from it because it covers1980-1986 and I don't see the same components under my truck. And itnever mentions a particular year. I can't determine if I have in thetank fuel pumps, where the high pressure fuel pump is, the reservoir,and the fuel pressure regulator. And if a fuel pump can be week andor clogged. I plan on removing the rear tank tomorrow and try to cleanit out and run it with fresh clean fuel. If that works I will do thesame to the front tank. But I really don't know how to troubleshootthis problem. Not even sure it is a fuel issue But i think it is. Cananyone please give me some expert advise? I really need it!!!Thanks Rick rittt@
