    Both tanks have fuel returned to them, Wiggle all lines going into tanks untill you find one thats bad at tank or rubber hose connecting to line leaving tank before it breaks off and leaves truck on side of road loaded?

    Look in tank with flash light for metal tube at bottom - may just draw from drivers side.

    Look for tap to shut off passenger side to drivers side cross over.

    As Baha said, get to wiggling to isolate leak.

    Nash dabbit - good luck son!

    Look at on top rear of trans. the return lines should run threw this fuel split box an split back to each tank, when one tank fills up and other is empty that is what cause it, sometimes it will be a brass fitting that was replaced and has vib. a leak?

    If you're just limping in with it. Clamp lines with vice grips
