96 F 150. 300 6 cyl,5 speed manual,150,000 miles..Cruising down the road,cuts off and starts right back.It has 2 tanks and rear tank does not work.I am guessing fuel pump in front tank is giving up.Plan is to pull the bed and replace both pumps.Any other ideas?

All gas in the front tank was first routed through the rear sending unit before being sent to the throttle body.

When mine would cut off and on, run rough sometimes and smooth others, I replaced the EGR, the IAC, and cleaned the throttle body, which was so full of carbon I don't see how it ran at all.
Been running well since without a hiccup.
Could simply be a clogged fuel filter. If you've run a tank completely empty they'll often times suck up trash from the bottom of the tank and that can cause symptoms like you are describing.
True.Even though the pick-up tubes are supposed to be equipped with a super fine mesh Stainless Steel sock,they still have some crappy welds and draw raw,unfiltered fuel.Check the filter canister,should be right behind the driver side rocker panel.Good luck,hope it's only a dirty filter.
