car stalling at right turns...

ok ive already searched through.. n saw the replies n all... but i thought id bring it up again coz i havent yet seen ne1 sayin 'the problem was solved by....'

car starts hesiating/stalling at right turns only when the tank is 1/2 full, n gets worse n worse as the fuel level drops...

my fuel filters new... now i just changed my gas tank coz it was leakin.. got a refurbished one... so could it b the tank? coz my pump was workin fine with the leaking tank.... nehow i'll b changin the pump newayz... its way too old... but i am open for other opinions.. i also bought this penzoil fuel system cleaner... wud it be worth using it??

thanx

It's the design of the tank itself that starve the fuel pump but on hard cornering. The only solution i have though about yet is to change for an escort tank which has baffle around the area where the pump goes in to kept some fuel around the pump when cornering. To be shure i tried the cornering has fast with an escort gt with the tank nearly empty and had no trouble with it and i was coming way faster then my pro
