Ok, got my tanks repaired and I got them back in. I’m not seeming to be getting fuel from the back tank. I verified my fuel pump on my tbi system is kicking on at initial ignition and also runs while cranking. Anyhow, pretty confident its not the tbi or fuel pumps.
I did opt for fuel hose rather than hard line from the senders. Can I run a hose to lay inside the tank with a screen filter on the pickup on the new sender? I’m kinda wondering if either the senders tube isn’t deep enough so that a hose extension would better pick up gas as the tank gets lower? Just an idea??

Thanks,
Tom
 
Yes there are 2 pumps and there is a relay operating them which is inside a little plastic spice bottle to keep it dry. I’ve verified the pumps are working. I think it might be a pinch line maybe. I’ll look into tomorrow morning.

PS: may go back to hardline but connect to sender with short fuel hose.

Time to cut a hole in the floor?
I just did that, for both tanks, to fix a bad sensor, totally worth it
