The tank will stop receiving gas when it is 3 or more gallons shy of being full. Then you have to start and stop over and over again to get it full of gas. Sometimes it will just stop taking more gas and I end up short of a full tank and the gauge will drop from full to 3/4 full in only 30 miles. Other times when I am able to get it full, the needle won't start to drop until I've driven over a 120 miles on the fresh tank of gas. It takes me 10 minutes to get a full tank of gas! Dealership in the Rio Grande Valley, TX was no help in determining the issue. I may need a new gas tank because it acts like one of the baffles has broken loose or something.
