The gas tank is a problem. It seems I'm always having to throw $50 bucks down the hatch there.
Seriously though I checked the vent tube and blew compressed air through it to make sure it was clear, I was preparred for what ever shot back out at me so be careful if attempting this. It was clear by the way. I found the best way to fill the tank is to turn the gas pump nozzle so the hose end is at about 7:00 if 12:00 is facing towards the front of the car and only at about a half pull on the trigger.
I fussed with my fuel gauge because it was erratic at times, jumped around like it was shorting out, then steady, then nothing, it was like this for years. I traced the sending wire and replaced the sending wire still no better, then the light bulb moment...check for ground and bingo, the only grounding was by incidental contact with the frame. I attached a ground wire from the tank to the frame. The guage works great now.
I was at the point of dropping the tank and replacing the whole sending unit and so I am thrilled I found an easier solution.
I know I am off topic here but thought my experiences might help getting your tank sorted out.
