I have a 97 F-250HD 5.8L V8 4X4 with dual fuel tanks. I topped off my front tank last night and at some point on the way back home I decided to switch to the rear fuel tank. With less than a mile to go before I got home I started to smell a very strong odor of gasoline. I decided to pull over and got out to see gas just pouring out of my front filler cap! I immediately switched back to my front fuel switch and eventually this stopped after a bit and after relieving the pressure by unscrewing the cap. I thought it was strange that the fuel was pouring out of the front filler cap after I had switched to the rear tank. I've never experienced anything like this before and I was quite surprised at the amount of fuel which was pouring out! It seemed like it was being fed by the fuel pump because as soon as I switched back to the opposite tank it pretty much stopped. Do I have a bad fuel pump? I've already had my rear fuel tank and pump replaced a while back. I hope I do not need a new front tank.
