Default Fuel tank issue

I had a Fore fuel system installed. triple pump, return style, and at the same time converted to flex-fuel. Ever since if I let the tank get to where the gauge shows even close to 1/4, it dies of fuel starvation.

The shop that installed it assured me this was normal due to the positioning of the basket to accomodate three fuel pumps. I sent an email for Fore and explained the symptoms. They assured me this is not the case and that the fuel tank should function as it did before.

Of course the place that did the install is out of business. No help there. Tim King would have probably continued to BS me anyway.

Has anyone else experienced this problem? Either with or without having installed a Fore fuell system? Without would be especially helpful.

I saw a kit to convert the crossover tube to hoses. Might that be a solution?

Thanks!

Do you happen to know if the bypass valve was installed with the kit in the passenger side tank?

I do not. Now that you mention it I remember it being talked about somewhere. Maybe the Fore site or instructions.

Definitely not normal. Maybe the float is hitting the lines in the tank once it gets down in fuel level.
