Angry gas tank problems

the rear gas tank on my 84 just started acting up about six months ago first it was the flot i guess because the gas gauge on the truck works when it is switched to the front tank but dose not work when switched to the rear tank, then a month later it only accepts gas slowly, now it will spit every last drop back out what the heck happened.

o by the way the tank was replaced six months ago.

I would say when you put the tank back on the truck your small hose inside your big hose was either not replaced or has worked itself loose somehow. As far as your gauge goes, it could be something as small as a loose wire or a bad sending unit. Good luck!
