Default Fuel issues...

My wife and i run a b16 /J1 trans 88 CRX in Auto cross D-mod and now that the suspension is set up well we are having fuel issues. We are having to keep all most a full tank in order to keep from sucking air on hard corners and switch backs. The car will readily carry the inside tire for a very long time when ever there is a long sweeper. As a mater of fact this weekend my wife carried it over three of the cones at the 90" finish tipping each but not moving the base. Now we have to carry so much fuel to prevent starvation that i need an alternate solution. Any one have the same problem? What kind of fuel cells are out there and can any one recommend the best and lightest one for the job?
We only need to carry 5 gals tops... Thank you for your time.

I have almost the exact same setup 91 CRX B16A / J1 and don't have this issue at all. I usually run it 1/4 tank or less at autox in DMod and have no starvation issues. I would think you have some kind of problem with your fuel pump or lines.

Hhhmm.. i have replaced it a few times but not in the last 2 mo. 1/4 tank.. i can not run that low i will have no power after a turn. As a matter of fact it acts like the engine is not there..
What kind of springs rates and rear sway bar are you running? I've got 550/650 rear
and a 27mm rear bar. the car is corner balanced with a full 8 point cage at 1850 lb.
