How do I get gas out of the front tank?

Why does gas come out of back tank?

The back tank gas gauge seems to be off so we never really know how much gas is in there. The front tank has been purging gas like it’s getting overfilled but we aren’t even putting gas in that tank. When we switch to the front tank, it’ll drive for maybe 5-10 minutes and then act like it’s empty and the van turns off.
