Fueling Issues

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.

Re: Fueling Issues

If it is running good when the tank is full would make me think pump is OK. So you are probably going to have to drop the tank and see whats going on in there. Someone could have siphoned gas out and bent the pick up I don't know. It sounds like the problem is in the tank.
