Default Gas tank problem

I am having a little problem with the gas tank on the right side which is the passenger's side one. So the car uses only on the left and while the right one is usually full and does not run through the fuel pump. The car sometimes stops while the right tank is full actually. So dont know what could be the problem here.

its definitely with the right tank as it is not going to the main tank and fuel pump. Any idea?

there is a venturi tube between both tanks to keep the fuel flowing between both...possibly a blockage (not sure how that would actually occur) ?

Yep. There is no fuel pump in the right hand tank. The pump in the left side tank pushes fuel through crossover lines that pass through the crossover tube. There is a venturi pump that uses the passing fuel from the l/h tank to suck the fuel from the r/h tank out first. Most likely, your venturi is clogged. I just did the sending unit in the r/h tank and it is a real pain.

This is the thread I used to get familiarized with the process:

Hope this helps.
