My gas gauge shows about 1/4 tank and I have no doubt the gauge is correct. The problem is when I try add fuel the tank will not accept fuel. It is like there is a bubble of sorts in the tank, it also pushes fuel out of the tank neck when attempting to fuel. I just attempted to refuel and it would only take one gallon before not accepting more, it appered in the neck to be full, but I know it is not. What can I do to correct this?

Check your EVAP purge solenoid valve and the fuel tank pressure sensor. Usually, when the purge solenoid is defective, it doesn't release the tank pressure when it is supposed to. As the tank is pressurized, you cannot add more fuel because of it.
