That's an interesting one! Thanks for the tip. I was wondering if I could
use a auto-body repair suction thingy to pull out the dent too, but I'm not
sure if that requires drilling a hole or not. I ran the tank low again and
it did they same thing...I just wanted to make sure it wasn't bad gas or
something that one time. Also, I was looking at a dent in the spare-tire
well not the fuel tank. Duh. I need to go underneath and take another
look. Anyway, something is wrong with it, at the very least maybe something
got knocked loose.

Thanks for the ideas...

Dean.
