IT IS DEFINITELY A POSSIBILITY THAT YOUR FUEL PUMP IS GOING OUT, BUT I THINK IT'S A LITTLE STRANGE THAT IT RESTARTS AFTER YOU HIT THE TANK...BEFORE I RAN OUT AND PURCHASED A NEW PUMP I WOULD CHECK FOR LOOSE ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS THAT POWER THE PUMP...THAT MAY REQUIRE DROPPING THE TANK BUT CAN SAVE YOU LOTS IN THE LONG RUN...GOOD LUCK.

my 1997 nissan sentra thermostat bolts wont tighten enough to hold a seal, how do i fix it?

Sounds more like a bad electrical connection. And that's good, because you can fix that without taking the tank off. Check the electrical connection at the point where the wire connects to the top (outside) of the fuel tank. Clean, repair or replace. I'd try that first.

why do my locks in my 95' pathfinder lock me in and out of my car?

do not hit the fuel tank it is a risky proposition at best, electric fuel pumps with this problem are usually caused by running the fuel supply low and clogging the fuel filter which puts excess strain on the fuel pump diaphram
