IF I FILL MY TANK AND I DRIVE IT AWAY FROM THE PUMP, IT WILL STUTTER, HESITATE, JERK, THEN DIE. I LOSE ALL POWER STEERING, BRAKES, ENGINE. AFTERWARDS, IT WON'T IMMEDIATELY RESTART. IT WILL START AGAIN AFTER A FEW MINUTES. IT WON'T START DRIVING GOOD AGAIN UNTIL I RUN THE GAS LEVEL DOWN A LITTLE. AFTER I FILL, IT WILL RUN OK UNTIL I MAKE A TURN OR COME TO A STOP, SOMETHING THAT WILL SLOSH THE FUEL IN THE TANK AGAIN THEN IT WILL ACT LIKE IT IS STARVED FOR FUEL. THIS HAPPENS EVERYTIME I FILL MY TANK. IF I DON'T FILL IT COMPLETELY THEN IT…
