Just back from a long trip. Bite the bullet and do a swirl pot with low pressure pump, you'll eliminate a lot of hassles. Couple good online articles if you search under swirl pot, I think.

LPC All, After the longest birthing process ever, (don't ask) I have my car back. Shane (AIM tuning) has outdone himself and the car is both a work of art and a real power monster. Among the very few remaining bugs is this: Fuel starvation on extended hard left-hand turns. I've only experienced it on the track on race rubber, but it is a serious problem there. (It sucks to be reeling in a whale-tail Porsche only to have to to coast through the big left-hand turns.) Details: 1) It sometimes cuts briefly even with as much as 2/3 of a tank. By the time I'm down to 1/4 tank, it is serious enough that I am a hazard to myself and others and exit the track. 2) Has never happened around town on street tires even at low fuel levels. 3) The fuel tank has a Walbro pump with stock fuel sock. If it is aligned correctly, I'm confident it is all the way to the bottom; the pickup was maybe even under a tiny bit of compression against the bottom as the top was reattached to the tank. Questions: 1) Anybody else experienced this? 2) Which direction should the fuel pick-up sock be pointing when properly installed? From the pump toward the driver side or from the pump toward the PAX side? 3) It would be my very last choice for a solution, but can anybody provide a link to a workable "fuel pot" setup? Thanks....
