    If the car was sitting for awhile, I'd say you got a rusty tank.  I 
went through the same problem, and a couple of fuel pumps as 
well.  It's difficult to clean if it gets real bad, because of the baffles 
in the tank.  Better off to just replace the tank with a new or used 
one.  Try shining a flashlight in the sending unit hole and see what 
it look like.
