I agree with the other coments about bypassing the gas tank to see if it runs 
ok, but use a marine gas can if you can to avoid a leak and potential 
fire/Corvair lover imolation.  I would hook the gas can directly up to the gas line 
above the left rear wheel.  It the problem is still there it will be in the 
engine compartment.

In my (painful) personal experience I have suffered collapsed pick up socks 
and rusty gas tanks.  Hope you problem isn't that difficult to repair.
