So when I bought my car the guy told me 1/4 tank actually means empty. I keep running out of gas when I pull up to stops to fast when my car is at 1/2 tank. It acts like its out of gas and wants to die then it either fires back up or I have to restart it. I am pretty tired of dealing with this and to top it off my gas tank will only take about 6 gallons of gas before it kicks the gas pump off. So it won't fill past 6 gallons roughly 20$. Does anyone know why this is happening? I'm kinda thinking it might be the fuel pump but I don't know too much about cars was hoping someone could help point me in the right direction. I figure at this rate of running out of gas and having to put 20$ in gas a day can't be great on my fuel pump. Someone help plz.

Also I tried to put more gas than the pump wanted to pump. Approximatly 6 gallons and the fill neck began spilling gas as I over filled it. 6 gallons really?...

 

Like I posted before IBrochz something is wrong with the tank ie filler tube, tank baffle, bent pickup you will need to see what is going on in there.

 

Ok thanks. I'll have to talk to my dad he's the one that is teaching me to work on these cars. He has his 82 Camaro Pace Car since I was a little kid. That being said I'm sure he's gonna be thrilled that we gotta drop the tank lol jk. He'll probably tell me to wait until the fuel pump goes bad that was his response when I said I wanted to fix my gas float. Seemed like he avoided it like the plague. Thx for the help tho!

 

If you have it out, grab a tank and sending unit from a 91-2 car.. They are the 1LE tanks and will help you pickup fuel during hard cornering..

 

O I think I will do that. Does it fit correctly and all? Just an overall better sending unit?

 

Its a direct replacement.

 

I can purchase a new on from any autoparts store right?

 

the parts store will most likely be a generic replacement.

Get the 91-2 tank from a junkyard thats not rusty. It will have baffles in it for cornering.
I wouldn't get one from the parts store when I get real nice ones with sending unit pulled out for $35 bux all day long where I'm at.

 

35$ for the tank and sending unit or sending unit alone? I would take one when you can get one.

 

Its for both but I don't go 2 the yard all the time..

 

Looks like ill have to check my local yards for one. What's the most you'd pay at abused for a tank on sending unit? 35$? Also can get it from any 91-92 Camaro such as RS or Z28?
