----------------------------------------------------------------
the gas tank was at half and then all of a sudden it went all the way down to below the empty line. then a while later when i was driving, whenever i would push on the gas pedal the line would start to go up but when i would use the brakes it would go back down...what is the problem???

It sounds like the rheotat on the float level gauge in the tank has gone bad. If the tank is full, does it make a difference?
