Default Fuel Injection on Early Model Mustangs

I have a 1969 Mustang Convertible that I have put fuel injection on. Problem is that when I get down to about 3 gallons in the tank, the fuel sloshes away from the stock pickup tube and I have no fuel pressure. Aside from putting in a completely different tank with an inside surge tank, or a drop down area to collect the fuel and extend the pickup, has anyone had experience with adding a fuel pump 'sock' to the end of a stock pickup tube? I've heard about this, but never tried it. If so, which sock did you use, and also is there such a thing as a 2 headed sock with it going to both sides of the tank?

Thanks
Racin' Randy

Hello,

i had the same problem. Last winter i revised my fuel system.
I use the original pickup and additionaly a second pickup in bottom
of the tank. On each pickup i attach a low pressure fuel pump.
This pumps filling a catch tank in the trunk (1 Liter). The high pressure
fuel pump take the fuel from this catch tank.
Now i drive the tank empty without problems. I think that one low pressure
pump on the original pickup is enough. The low pressure pumps
are made by FACET and deliver 60 gallons/hour.
