1. The time to fill the tank is from $$ 3:40 $$ p.m. to $$ 3:44 $$ p.m., which is a total of
   $$
   3:44 - 3:40 = 4 \text{ minutes}.
   $$

2. The total amount of gasoline pumped is $$ 13.6 $$ gallons.

3. The average rate of flow is given by
   $$
   \text{Rate} = \frac{\text{Total gallons}}{\text{Time in minutes}} = \frac{13.6}{4}.
   $$

4. Calculating the rate:
   $$
   \frac{13.6}{4} = 3.4 \text{ gallons per minute}.
   $$

Thus, the average rate of flow is $$ 3.4 $$ SUI/min.
The average rate of flow is 3.4 gallons per minute.
