What happens when a fuel pump is not running?

When the pump is not running, the check valves on the pressure and return lines normally seal the tank from the lines. If either of the check valves start to leak, the tank with the leaking check valves will overfill when running on the other tank. The repair for this is to replace the fuel pump assembly.

What to do when fuel is not coming out of tank?

Disconnect return line on top of tank and see if fuel is returning to tank with the truck running.

Then open valves one at a time and see that when fuel comes out of the valve it is at the same height on both valves.
