Do you have a fuel pressure gauge that you can put on the rail to monitor if there is a drop in fuel pressure as the tank gets lower?

Could be a power/voltage drop issue going to the fuel pump. Maybe there is only enough juice for the pump to sip at your tank. Then as it gets lower the pump doesn't have enough juice to really suck up the fuel.......?????

Testing the voltage at the pump and the pressure at the rail would be my suggestion.

The volts at the pump should be battery voltage. You will need a multi/voltmeter and the following procedure;

This is for a 94-98 Accord,

the procedure will be the same for testing on other models, However the locations of the connections may differ.
