First time hear it. Sound like fuel pump being bad. Have you ever ran out of gas?

Very interesting, I've not heard about such a thing better honestly. Perhaps something having to do with the pump, sending unit, etc fell into the tank and clanks around when nearing empty? IDK bro, but GL!

could be having fuel pump failures...make sure u keep the tank and half tank at all times until you get to have it checked out professionally....fuel filter could be clogged also
