Icon3 fuel problem!!!!!

so the problem with my "ride" is that once i get to a quarter tank of gas my car begins to bog out as if it was out of gas... it stalls out and dies...and it cranks and cranks and finally starts but not for long...as if i were out of gas! so i was told it could be fuel pump or feeder. can somebody help me out please!!!!

not so accurate fuel guage? or maybe a fuel pump that is starting to go bad. maybe when the fuel gets lower the fuel pressure drops! idk just a suggestion and trying to help!

as far as sludge in gas? idk if theres such a thing. as far as a fuel tester i got mine from snap on. but im a mechanic so i need it regularly.
go to sears (craftsman) or autozone migh thave one for sale or rent.

here in cali theres a chain of stores called HARBOR FREIGHT they sell all kinds of tools for a fraction of the cost of snap on,cornwell,bluepoint,mac,

Nah your fuel pump is going out slowly. My first rex did the same thing and I replaced the filter and pump and never had the problem again. Wish it was this easy for the crx I'm struggling with right now lol
