I tried to put 3 gallons of gas into my car and it started pouring out (out of where you put it in at). I don't go by gas guage (already knew that was messed up) so I go by mileage. According to the milage I was empty. I typically get 25-30 miles per gallon. I went 125 miles after the pouring out incident and broke down. Then put 3 gallons in again and only went 35 miles before breaking down again. I just put on a new fuel filter 3 weeks ago. The gas has only poured out that once, and hasn't since. What would be making the gas come out, let alone now I'm only going 20 miles to 3 gallons of gas? If something was put in my tank, what should I be looking for? I know I need a new fuel pump, but when it was looked at (the same time the new fuel filter was put on) it should have lasted a lot longer than just a few weeks.

I would replace the fuel pump for sure, it will probably fix your gas gauge as well.

read your manual, NEVER OVERFILL GAS TANK
this cause the fuel pump to burn out just as quick as it would suck up sand and trash if near empty...sorry too much or too little sucks...literally! now...the good news is you can get the fuel guage fixed when you fix the fuel pump...might as well while the tank is out...LOL! Besure to tell the mechanic to replace the sending unit for the fuel guage...thats a seperate item but it is in the pump assembly

Have the fuel pump module replaced and all should be well.

Replace the filler hose.
