What's up with my gas tank?
Well first of all when I fill my tank up completely full, (and im sure its full), the fuel gauge does not go up to F. It just goes between 3/4 and the F mark.
Also when I go to fill my tank up, I pull up the trigger and let down the deal so it will fill up itself, you know. Well I have to stand there and keep doing it because it shuts off all the time and the tank isn't even close to full. So I have to keep doing that until gas starts to spew back at me to make sure it's full. It does this at any gas station.
I should also add that (not sure if this is normal), when I come to a stop or slow down, the gauge needle goes torward empty, and when I accelerate, it goes up towards full.
Any ideas?

Try not stuffing the pump ALL the way into the tank, With my truck i need to keep it out about a 1/2" or so otherwise it does the same thing. And when i am putting 33 gals of gas into my truck it gets VERY annoying when it shuts off. Good luck!
