I checked the fuel pressure and everything works properly. Do you know how many gallons the tank holds?

Well i found out that it isnt the fuel pump. The tank took about 14 gallons of gas when it was sputtering. It has a full tank of gas right now and the gauge is reading that it has 3/4 of a tank. So now i have to figure out how to fix this gauge.

if the sending unit is working right with a full tank u should have 88 ohms at the purple wire from the tank.

if the gage is working right it should be a little under 3/4. the book shows 60 ohms at 3/4 and 43 is 1/2 tank. im gona say it got installed wrong or the sender is failing, could be the float or float arm is sticking or hitting against something.

I'll bet the Gorilla Epoxy glue that you can get at Home Depot will work as well.
