This has happened twice now- I am driving and all of a sudden, my car putters out as if it is out of gas, even though it says 1/4 tank is left. I then have someone bring some gas to me and with adding only 3 gallons more (in a gas can), it starts. Then I drive to the gas station and fill it up. Both times It filled up with 9-10 gallons. So, with the 10 gallons in from the station and 3from the can, I have 13 gallons in my tank. My tank is 16 gallons, so obviously I have gas when it stalls and wont start. I believe it has something to do with the fuel line or gas tank somewhere, since it stalls and putters out, but then when I add gas it runs great..

If anyone knows about what is going on, please let me know- Like I said, I have a quarter tank, but it stalls out. Then when I add more gas, it goes. This has happened twice!
