89 club wagon van dual tanks, neither gas gauge is working. what could be the issue

Probably the gauge on the dash. It is unlikely both sending units failed at the same time, but it could also be a wiring problem or a bad selector switch if equipped.

I think that if you have a carby system that I would be checking the auto choke operation. IF efi I would be running fault codes looking for sensor problems in the air intake area. Check the duel switch and ensure that there is not possibility of an air leak allowing fuel to drain back in the system as replacing the unit appears to be the start of your problem

had that same problem with a honda civic and it was the fuel pump in the tank. the car would shut the power supply down to the fuel pump for some reason so i just jumped it with a toggle switch. what u do is set up the jump from ur dash to ur fuel pump and keep it off. now drive it around till it dies again and flip the toggle on and i bet u it will start right up

Can`t find the tank switch,can`t figure out these windows

There should be a switch on the dash to change over gas tanks when equipped w/ dual tanks.
Do u have power windows? The motor may need to be replaced on the pass. side.

Ford Dual Gas Tank problem, Rear tank Always full.

This is a common problem. On the driver's side frame rail is a large black plastic assembly that the fuel lines connect to. This a fuel switching valve what usually happens is the valve goes bad and the fuel gets pumped from one tank to the other

The actual switching of tanks is performed by a solenoid operated valve that is controlled by the toggle switch. The valve or it's solenoid could be getting sticky and not switching over quickly. The switch should also change wire connections to the new tank fuel-level sensor. It's possible that the fuel pump is getting tired and has a problem picking up fuel from the new tank. I assume that the vehicle is using the stock engine-mounted fuel pump.
