okey you have two fuel tanks the between frame is like 15 gallons and the side rail is 25 ish gallons. There is a swith in the cab that selects front or rear the rear is your smaller tank. When the ttank is selected it tell the fuel guage how much fuel is in it. There is a electric valve in the framrail that has two fuel inlets and two fuel returns(one set per tank) then it has one set going to the engine. So whatever fuel tank is selected is which tank the engine pulls fuel from and returnes excess fuel to until you select your second tank. Hope this helped.

How do you replace a fuel pump on a 1990 Honda Accord and can an average person do it himself?

The pump is in the tank and not easy to remove without a lift. The tank is under the trunk, and there are two straps holding the gas tank, you should have the gas tank close to empty, so it can be easier to work with, those two straps have one bolt each and you need to take them off be careful, then you need to disconnect all the lines that connect the fuel pump, once it's down. Spray WD-40 and let it sit for one day, then come back and with I think a number 12 mm socket, put it on the nut and hammer it down to make sure you got a hold on the nut then do that to each, take your time. You will need to people to do this job. Now that you read this an average person can do it thanks to me.

What are the dimensions of a fuel tank?

Fuel tanks vary in size, and so do their dimensions. Even two tanks of the same volume can have different dimensions.

How to fix vapor lock?

There are two basic ways to do this. The first one, turn the engine over with the starter motor untill the air lock goes away. Second, if this does not work you may have to bleed the fuel system, usually at the carburetor. With sufficient fuel in the gas tank and the fuel pump in good shape, the block should go away using bleeding and turning over the engine. In rare cases of mechanical obstruction the carburetor has to be removed and compressed air forced through the fuel lines.

How long does it take to get bad fuel out of lines?

Depends on how you get it out. If possible the tank should be drained and the lines disconected and flushed. If you can drain or syphon the tank on a modern fuel injected car the system should circulate the bad gas back to the tank in just a minute or two when trying to start the car. REMEMBER this will not work unless the tank has new good gas in it. The amount of bad gas in the lines should not hurt the new gas as long as you have a Half tank or more of new gas.
