How do I know which tank im on from cab never had 2 tank truck before

You've not identified the truck model or year.. Some trucks had after market installations of auxiliary tanks. The Ford 150 with dual tanks had pumps in both tanks. Some suggest dual tanks were always quirky, problematic. However, dependent upon the year, the pumps might be located in the tanks OR the pump might be on the engine. Newer trucks with fuel injection actually had three pumps. The newest have a pressure pump in the front tank and a balance pump in the rear. Some switches affect only the guage. P haps one of the forums below can help when you supply more detail.

Ford f 150 dual gas tank drawing from both tanks at the same time

Replace the fuel deliver valve, it is under the truck on the drivers side, it is a black plastic canister with lots of plastic lines going in and out of it. If you find this is the problem disconnect one line at a time, don't take everything off at once and mix them up.

Dual tank pickup. Fuel gauge doesn't work on either tank?

You just have a ground problem between the frame and tank ground. It has to be connected to a clean tab on the tank at the fuel sending unit. Check and clean them, both tanks. It gets confused and don't know what to do without a complete circuit.
