No. The older practice of "filling it to the gills" has disappeared, and with good reason. It was unnecessary and wasteful, as spillage was very common with it. When the pump automatically shuts off, the tank is "full" to about the bottom of the fill pipe - exactly where it should be. Filling the tank to the top of the fill pipe would almost certainly give you false readings in the engines computer about the fuel system - like a constant "Check Engine" or "Check Fuel Cap" sign in the dashboard display.

1998 Chevy s10 2.2 will not start unless tap on gas tank?
Your vehicle has an electric fuel pump in the fuel tank. Tapping or pounding on the fuel tank to start the engine usually means the fuel pump is bad. When the fuel pump is running its own inertia allows the pump to continue to run but when the engine is shut down and the pump stops it now needs a "shock" to restart and continue service.

Why reciprocating pumps are not coupled with motor?
In case of emergency, if the cylinder stops, the motor does not. So it can be harmful for motor. Designers couple the high power motor to the cylinder of pump by means of a clutch. so the motor can continue to rotate while the cylinder stops. Also in case of closing the outlet valve of a pump, the pressure in the cylinder can fail the cylinder or crankshaft and accessories. in this case the clutch can separate the power from motor to the pump and prevent failure of pump.
