did they change the fuel filter with the tank. if not i would start there. also if there is a connection problem. but then you would probably have a fuel leek, unless the problem was inside the tank. good luck

If "it doesn't do it all the time" the first thing I'd check is the tanks vent system. If you can pull over the next time it happens, try to remove the filler cap. If there is
a vacuum in the tank, thats your problem.
I don't know your car, but it's an easy fix for a mechanic, and the guy who installed the tank has goofed and should fix it under guarantee.

If the pedal sticks it could be your injectors need cleaning and if that's the case just put a bottle of injector cleaner in your gas tank. You did not tell us the yr make or model so I'm not sure you even have injectors. Good luck.

could be the injectors or something in the fuel filter or fuel lines. best way to find out is get some one to start checking the fuel lines from the gas tank.

I think you may have an air look in your fuel line ,it should clear itself in a few miles .
