Question Hesitation from Right Side Tank (TBI)

Anyone have any idea's? Is there a fuel sending unit in these tanks? Its just the right side that hesitates and is hard to start. Left side drives fine. TIA!

There is a pump in each tank, Might be a ageing pump. I would check the fuel filter first tho.

No answer for you but your not alone. When my right side tank gets down to around half full truck acts like it is out of gas and dies no trouble with the drivers side though. Sorry just noticed TBI. Mine has been converted back to carb with single external pump
