Default Weird Fuel Issue

I have had a starange occurance hapen twice now. When the temperatures get @ 95 degrees outside and my feul level gets at 1/4 tank or less my truck acts like it is running out of gas and stalls at stop lights.

A fill up has been the cure both times it has happened.

I have the walbro 255 installed an have experience the normal cavitation that occurs with i get on it at 1/4 tank or less. But this new problem occurs as I come to a stop.

Anyone have a suggestion as to why this might be happening?

It is never a good idea to take your fuel tank below 1/4 tank. this is because when you are that low, there is not fuel on the pickup %100 of the time. This will kill a fuel pump so fast it will make your head spin. This could also be causing you, your problems.
