Default I am having fuel starvation problems, they just started, never had them before.

What causes this?
Is the baffeling in the tank broken?

about 3 tanks of gas now, when I get down to 4 bars of gas left (90 digital fuel gauge) I have fuel starvation going around turns.

I have an in car fuel pressure gauge, it drops to 30-32 PSI or so when turning. I am guessing because this happens for only 1-2 seconds, it cannot keep up with the actual pressure and does not display how low the pressure really is.

Before all this I could drive around just fine on 2 bars of gas left.

I was wondering if maybe the fuel gauge is off? It had 4 bars on it, I filled it up and it took 15 gallons. Does this sound about right?

And after filling up to a full tank, I can go around turns just fine now.

Is there a fix to this, besides filling up at half a tank?
I have been thinking about adding a sump...
