Default Fuel pump pumping air

When there is about 10-15 liters left in the tank, my fuel pump is pumping air when I brake for red lights and other things I have to stop for.

There are no bumps under the tank. I changed it last year because the other tank did the same. Now I have the exactly the same problem.

Does anybody recognize these?

Do you mean it cuts out some time when stopping etc?
