Not sure I understand your question.
Everytime the gas cap is removed pressure inside the tank is equalized with outside air.
If you run the tank empty you can damage the pump, which would cause a lack of fuel in the line to the injectors.

My 06 rendezvous keeps dying when it's hot out above 70 degrees is this a o2 sensor and is their a sensor in the gas tank

It might be vapor locked..It's caused from overfilling you gas tank all the time...It's when the pressure in your gas tank becomes greater than your gas pump...The car will shut off...If this is what it is just loosen the gas cap and the car will crank immediately..While opening the gas cap it would be sucking in air.. Sometimes people put a aftermarket gas cap on there car without any ventilation..The correct way to fix is the change the charcoal filter in the line running back to the carburetor..Over the years of over filling your car..the gas has made the filter hard inside and that causes vapor lock...Alway only go to the next nickel when filling up your car at the gas station...Hope this helps

Took 1/2 hr to get 20 $ worth of gas into tank because of air lock ? also now my gas gauge is not moving from empty ? 09 Caliber

That's about three minutes per gallon. Are you quite sure it isn't leaking out? Air locking can be handled with a piece of hose that reaches into the pipe but leaves room for filling. Just be sure it isn't soluble in gasoline or can be pushed into the tank.

Can`t get gas to go in the gas tank only a little at a time

There is gasoline in the vent tube blocking air from exiting the tank. This happens when you over fill the tank. With an almost empty tank, leave off the gas cap and VERY gently apply compressed air to the vent tube. Once cleared the tank will fill normally.

Hints...Listen when you loosen gas cap...Can you hear air sucking back into your gas tank. Cheap fix..Take the smallest drill bit and drill a hole into the center of the gas tank..It also could be a replacement gas cap that someone put on the car..Buy the original cap..What caused the problem to start with? Over filling your gas tankk..Putting that extra 75cent to top it off..Your cars gas tank is designed to burn fumes...When you over fill a tank it sends gasoline down those vapor hoses then into a charcoal canister..Over years if doing this...It gets clogged up then the fumes can't get out the tank...It builds up pressure and becomes greater than your gas pump...Then it shuts off...If you wait long enough....it will start back...This sounds crazy....But this could really be your problem...Next time the car shuts off... loosen gas car...If it starts...BINGO....You have solved your problem...

When fuelling only a spoonful goes into the tank befoe the nozell shuts off.

Sometimes the fuel venting system does not release the vacuum enough to allow refueling. You would think that opening the gas-cap would vent everything, but it does not. The evaporator canister solenoid valve could be sticking.

Also check your gas tank straps. One strap could be loose or the fuel-pump could have been replaced and the tank rehung crooked. If you imagine filling the tank, you need the high side by the tank filler neck.

Check with a Chrysler dealer about any service bulletins regarding fixes for your problem. They may have a redesigned filler neck to eliminate the air lock you are experiencing.
