Default 88 civic hatch fuel problem

so ive been driving my car around for a little over a year now and ever since i bought it i cant seem to drive it when it gets to a 1/4 tank of gas...it bogs out and DIES! my friends tell me its probably a bad cluster but im only getting about 230 miles each tank. keep in mind that the car is 100% stock under the hood. PLEASE HELP! some have also said it is my fuel feeder line??

Having the same issue, where is the feeding tube? what could possibly go wrong with them? recently had the gas tank dropped and varified that the fuel pump was good. Can any expert chime in...

90 Civic Lx with 240K running strong. I'm used to fill up $20 each time and drive till it's on the last drop. Never had any issue with previous Hondas until this one...???
