Default Walboro Fuel pump eF?

anyone else with an aftermarket fuel pump.... A) sputters/cuts out when gas is low. especially when flooring it around corners. Its pretty much common sense why it cuts out but I was just wondering if anyone else can relate...because the stock pump never sputtered when the fuel was low...thanks in advanced

This is the worst thing to get over mentally for autocross. If the gas gauge is at the halfway mark or less, we'll get fuel cutoff during runs. STS class you can't change the fuel pump. In my Sentra, I could run on fumes just as strong as when it was full. Being that gas weighs like 6.8 pounds a gallon, it's a bitch!

You guys may need to adjust the height at which the pumps sits on the bracket. This was the case when I put an ITR pump in my CRX, it sat too high, and whenever I got to 1/4 tank, the car would die. When I put in my Walbro, I made sure that it sat lower (like the stock pump sat) on the bracket.

i thought that i was the only one with this problem. once mines gets to about 1/8 it starts to sputter, and i usually am able to drive about 3-4 miles before it cuts off.
