Not sure what hoses you are talking about. This is how the pump looks. I've been thinking about this. Since it only does it on corners you are probably right...the problem is in the tank. Pump only goes one way. maybe the pick up is to high in the tank.

One thing I have run into is that its difficult for some to get this out of the tank without gougeing the paint around the fuel door.So what I have noticed is they "bend" the tubes which can raise the pickup.I think your probably right and that could be the only problem.

When you take the fuel door off the body put some masking tape around the opening out about 3".If I remember right the gouge will not be at the edge it will be out beyond what the door trim will cover up.Use easy release tape or get the tape dusty before you put it on or you might take off some paint.Oh and watch the back edge of the door it to can get the paint.
