    Do you have any suggestions? the transfer pump is external. It has sending units in each that turns on the fuel pump. Thank you.

    the diesel has a transfer pump. yours has a fuel pump in each tank and a transfer valve. if the fuel pump runs after it turns off, the relay may be stuck colsed. have a shop check it for you.
