Default Fuel slosh?

Occasionally I'll get some stumbling on hard acceleration, particularly just after a less than silky-smooth launch. I've read posts where the fuel pickup may not be ideally located or whatever but I'm wondering if I should be getting this at three bars in my '94. It never happens above 1/2 tank. Could somebody tell me what is the absolute lowest I should go to avoid it?

I try to keep a 1/2 of a tank while racing and I have no stumble. I have had it happen on the street while below 1/2.
