I went to go pump gas, the tank said it was empty. But my gas wont pump. It keeps spitting gas back out at me. It wont even go into the tank. Whats wrong with my car and how do I get the gas to start going into the tank?

are you sure the guage is working? it may be that the tank is full and the sending unit or guage is faulty

well let me just ask how far did you drive back home from the gas station after trying to fill it up? if you had driven very far and the tank was on empty you probably would have run out of gas. try having someone rock the vehicle and get as close as you can to the fuel tank and see if you can hear fuel sloshing in the tank
