Hopefully its not full of gas. Loosen the hose clamps for your filler tube just below the neck inside the fenderwell. With a jack under the tank, loosen the bolts that hold the tank in place, lower it a little bit, on top of the tank you will see an oval wire plug that will lift straight up, remove that. Pull the rubber vent line off of the vent valve, now the two gas lines. One will have a white plastic lock that slides down into the connector. you will need to use a small screwdriver to get under the clip to pry it up and off. the same goes for the othe gas line, but the plastic lock will be black. pay attention which one goes where for installing it back together. Be careful when pulling the lines off, due to there may be some fuel pressure in the lines. nothing a rag can't handle while taking the lines off. It would be a good idea to buy a new white and black clip before you start. Since most of the time they break when taken apart. Also the age of your truck you might want to consider buyung new tank straps. They just turn to remove the one end that doesn't bolt. Just reverse the procedure to install. Its also best to inst the new clips before the lins are put on. That way, all you have to due is push the gas lines on until you here them click into place. Once done, cycle the key on a couple of times to make sure nothing is leaking.

SOURCE: 1989 Ford F150 power window

you have to disconnect the negative side of the battery so you won't kill it then remove the door panel look for hidden screws behind the arm rest and behind what looks like little doors that you have to use a screw driver to open once that is removed you will find a plastic sheet just cut and peel this back (you can use duct tape to replace it when you are done) also put on gloves because inside the doors there is sharp edges, you then can see the motor and you will need to break off the rivets but you can put the new one on with just a small bolt and nut and use lock tight

SOURCE: 1990 Ford F150 won't start after running out of gas

After running out of gas, the system is still full of air/vapor. In the fuel injection system, the pump will run momentarily each time the ignition is turned on. You should be able to hear the pump. Each time the pump runs it purges some of the air through the return line back to the tank. Try turning the ignition on and off about 10 - 20 times to purge the air and vapor and fill the system back full of gas.

If you find my suggestions to be helpful, please share with us some details so that others may benefit from knowing the whole story. Thank you!

I have a 1989 Ford f150 drive for about 30 minutes it dies out or stop and want crank for about an hour

I would unplug the gas cap when it stalls; if you hear a hissing sound, change the gas cap, because it builds up a vacuum in the tank.

My 1989 f150 acts like it gets no gas. which fuel pump is bad?

you have to run on the front pump for a while to see if it acts up then and if not do the same with the rear . if it does the same on both then replace your fuel filter and if still no change , change the pump or pumps. These pumps are well known for going out at the same time

1990 ford f150 cross over valve location

Please Help ME by Remembering to RATE ME Thank you Vrey Much !!!

This vehicle does not use an external fuel tank switching valve. A supply check valve in the fuel pump assembly opens when the outlet pressure from the energized fuel pump exceeds the opposing check valve spring force.


R E C A L L 1991
THE DUAL FUEL TANK SELECTOR VALVE MAY MALFUNCTION AND CAUSE AN OVERFILL CONDITION IN ONE OF THE FUEL TANKS, RESULTING IN AN OVERFLOW OF FUEL PAST THE FILLER CAP.

REPLACE THE DUAL FUEL TANK SELECTOR VALVE.

1989 F150 4x4 gas tank leaked (rear tank) had it replaced , ran out of gas today @ half tank register on gauge, also oil pressure gauge fluxauting from normal to o. Is it a bad ground, if so where is the...

When replacing the fuel tank often mechanics dont check the gauge, it can be damaged when reinstalling it or if it came with the sendor in it already, often they get knocked around in shipping making them read wrong. And in the shop we always check the oil pressure with a live gauge . you can get one at a local parts store pretty cheap, it comes with a new sending unit and all, and the sending unit is the ground, the gauge has a continuous hot and the sending unit applies a amount of ground to allow the needle to climb.
