Hello all!

This is my first post. I just purchased (6/10) a Rainforest Green '01. I'm having a problem with my fuel gauge and putting fuel in the car. When I first purchased the car, the gauge was at 1/4 tank. I tried to put fuel in and it kicked off after two gallons and then wouldn't take fuel at all. The pump just kept shutting off. So I figured it was full and the gauge was off. I drove about 125 miles and it ran out of gas on the PA turnpike! I put a gallon of fuel in and it started right up. I went to the pump and was only able to put another 3.25 gallons in. This means the car ran out of fuel with over 10 gallons in the tank? Is there a problem with the pick-up tube?
I actually have the receipts from the past owner and the trouble with putting fuel in the car has been addressed twice before. They fixed a crimped vent tube, realigned the fuel filler neck. They also pulled out the fuel pump and reinstalled.

Anyone else have this problem or can shed some light as to what the solution is?
