Passed that step in the process of elimination with flying colors then.
If I don't do simple things first and start looking at the hard things the simple thing that I didn't check is usually the issue.
Float level might be the issue. but it would have to be way off or you have an incredibly steep driveway.
I wouldn't think that the driveway was so steep that the fuel drained back in the line to where the pump was pumping air and not picking up the gas. I've had at least one rig that the pump would not pull enough vacuum to draw fuel though an empty line after running out of gas though. I had to blow the gas though the line by putting pressure on the filler neck to get the gas to the pump on that one.
