Thumbs down fuel starvation around corners

Hi ppl am a newbie to pf and have my first rst s2 my problem is that when i have less than 1/4 tank of fuel i seem to be getting fuel starvation. it only seems to be around right hand corners. Has any1 had this problem or similar b4 and am i right in thinking theres just the 1 fuel pump under the tank and not 1 inside the tank.

Common problem especially on some tanks that have been repolaced with either one without swirl potty or aftermaket ones without a decent enough one, just one pump on these.

Do you have a swirl pot atm? A decent swirl pot or fuller tank will cure the problem.
