Sounds like the pick up in your fuel tank might have broken, or possible just been shithouse to begin with. Try parking your car somewhere that it runs out of fuel, then disconnect the fuel filter and blow compressed air up the pipe. If the fuel bubbles ?(ie. the pick up is still under the fuel level) then begin looking at surge tank options etc. but if it does not bubble then the pick up is not sitting in fuel and therein your problem lies.
