Those pumps are special and not interchangeable also there's a check valve either in one of the pumps (I think it's the front one) or in the line. Do this, remove both fuel caps then keep cycling the key to see if the back pump is pumping into the front tank instead to the engine. Ford has either an old recall or tech service bulletin you may want to call and ask. I hope this helps, Take care.
