NO MATTER HOW I HOLD THE NOZZLE.THE 1ST THING THAT COMES TO MIND WOULD BE A KINK IN THE HOSE.WELL, NOTHING NOTICABLY WRONG IN THAT RESPECT.IF THERE IS SOMETHING PLUGGING IT SHOULD I JUST FORCE A HANGER OR SOMETHNIG DOWN IT.TRY TO CLEAR IT OUT? WOULDN'T THAT GET !@#$% IN MY TANK. IF ANYONE HAS EXPERIENCED THIS PROBLEM I WOULD APPRECIATE SOME ADVICE. THANKS
ALSO MY FEUL GAUGE IS SCREWED. THE FRONT TANK IS EMPTY AND WHEN I SWITCH TO IT IT READS FULL. THE REAER IS FUL...AND READS EMPTY.NOW AND THEN MY GAUGE JUMPS AND ACTS LIKE ITS GONNA WORK. ANY HELP?
IS THIS EASY TO DO?

I suggest you run a search on this forum for "fuel tank".
There are dozens of us who have had the same problems with the gauges, overflowing of one tank into another, etc.
As far as not being able to fill the tank, I would try taking a small funnel, attaching a piece of small hose to it, small enough to slip into the filler hose, and see if you can fill it from a gas can.
If not, then you will have to remove the tank and replace the filler hose, most likely.

If you live in a "none attainment" (air quality) area of the country (where the pump nozzles are slightly larger & have a corregated rubber sleave over the spout), a refueling problem could be because of faulty service station equipment or the inner hose of YOUR fuel tank being broken off & too short. If you don't live in a none attainment area then there is probably an obstruction in the inner hose of your filler.
