Gas tank problem???
To start with, I have an '01, v10 powered EX. The other day the low fuel light went on, so I stopped at the station. When I opened the cap, there was alot of vacumm in the tank causing quite a rush of air. For giggles I turned on the key & it now reads 1/2 full and only took 19 gallons. I ran out of gas recently and let it set for 30 minutes. It started up and ran, but I could only put about 32 gallons in when i got to the station.
Is it possible the vacumn in the tank is causing it to bulge upward pushing the intake out of the gas?
Thanks for your help.

Not really sure what that means. My first thought is that you have a bad gas cap. It isn't venting to compensate for fuel being used.
