By tapping on the tank and then the Jeep starting sounds like it is a faulty fuel pump not the fuel. Tapping on the tank will vibrate the brushes in the pump and sometimes get them to make contact. I would ask the mechanic to install a CARTER fuel pump specifically beings that is the manufactures brand that you can get aftermarket. Make sure they change the filter also. There is a fuel sock in the tank at the end of the pump to prevent rust and debris from getting into the line.

that means your fuel pump is going out - get it replaced before you wind up unable to use your truck at all.
