    Another possibility is that you could have what's called a loose baffle inside the fuel tank which is supposed to be ridgedly mounted inside the tank but has become loose and moving around which could block the flow of fuel entering the tank. Also take a look and see if there's a rubber hose which connects the fuel fill to the tank and see if it has become collapsed. I've see this in other vehicles where the purge/vent solenoids (associated with the canister) failed causing this problem.
