Default car losing power

At about a fourth of a tank of gas the car seems to start losing power and will sometimes even lose all power ie i will hit the gas and no power at all. this does not happen till im at around a fourth of a tank and was wondering what it could be. it has now progressed and now my car is at a half tank and i can barely start it and when i do i dont make it far before it dies

it ended up being the ignitors and the ignition coils i think is what he said but he also said my spark plugs were almost in need of changing so he is those as well
