TSB on Gas tank issue?
I had my tank replaced! I first bought the car and drove around until the tank was close to empty.......pulled into the gas station and couldnt put a gallon of gas in! embarassing as hell! standing there.....click, click goes the pump nozzle....i thought it was the pump so i drove off and went to another station and same thing.....i forced a couple of gallons in and took it to the dealer..... they said there was something wrong in the fill tube/tank assembly and could not fix it but had to replace the entire assembly....of course it was on back order and had to wait a week, they were able to forced enough gas in to last the week..........since they replaced the tank it works fine, but i can never get it to fill all the way up to full, but i don't have any more problems getting gas in.......since the tanks were on back order that tells you i was not the only one needing a new tank.........
I thought I had the same problem, but it turned out that there was a problem with the fuel sending units. The car seemed like I was not able to fill all the way but the problem was that to gauge did not accurately show the proper level and I was only able to pump in about 15 gallons when the needle showed passed empty because there was actually still about 5 gals in the tank. I was able to figure it out be resetting my tripometer at every fill-up. I had to take it to the dealer twice to get a semi-accurate read of the gauge.

Shooter I have the same problem, I always thought it was the pump, because it did not happen every fill-up....
