The road was rough. I mean r o u g h. After the fill up... there went the gauge. Now...

When I removed the fuel line under the car (the one with the clip), and after I removed the gas cap... when thaat connection, er, disconnected there was a little burst of pressure, could see and hear it, and the very little gas that blew out... it looked dirty. AND... when I came into the house to wash my hands they almost looked like Michael Jackson's. Big stain patch.

Now that you've refreshey memory I may just access the top of the taank, pull out some gaas, aand see what it looks like. Thanks!

Does your car have a fuel filter? I seems that something is obstructing the flow, but it could also be a faulty check valve that is not allowing fresh air entering the fuel tank (so it can breath) without polluting.
Just guessing
