Why is my 1989 Ford F150 not running?

I have a 1989 Ford F150 with the 5.0 fuel injected. Its not getting gas and I don’t know where the problem begins. I know its getting fuel up to the fuel pump by the driver’s door. but not sure about afterwards. Is there anyway I could rig a gas can to it so that it’ll get fuel directly too the motor and I could get it to run?

Why did my 1986 Ford F150 die on Me?

I just overcame a 1986 5.0 efi f150 randomly dying on me. The fuel pump relay (driver side firewall under the hood hinge) powered up for 2 seconds at key to run position, but the high pressure fuel pump did not run at all, and there was no fuel at the fuel rail (used a modified toothpick to press the schraeder valve open).

Where is the fuel tank on a 1989 Ford F-150?

I also decided to bypass the fuel tank selector switch, connecting the second (middle) slot on the left (power in) to the lower left slot (front in-tank pump). I also connected the second (middle) slot on the right (signal to fuel guage) to the lower right slot (front tank sending unit).

Why did my 1989 F150 have a fuel problem?

I have a 89 Ford F150 XLT Lariat 8 cyl 302 that had a fuel problem. It turned out to be caused when the butterfly valve got stuck in the middle. The butterfly valve has gas lines coming from both gas tanks into just one gas line that gos to the high pressure fuel pump on the rail along the drivers side door.

Where does the gas come from in a Ford F-150?

The internal (low pressure pumps) in the gas tanks start pumping as soon as you turn on the Key (KOEO) and pump gas out of the tank to the fuel line, down to the swap over valve.
