Why does your fuel gauge on a 1992 Ford F150 with dual fuel tanks not recognize the forward tank when it is full?

Most trucks with dual tanks only have fuel sensors in one tank. I disagree with that as both of them have a float in them. It is possible there is corrosion to the float gauge on fuel pump. You can either replace fuel pump and gauge in tank or take old one out of fuel tank and clean up the crude in it.. I just did this to mine and it works now.. either way you have to drop tank or take off bed which I found was easier.
