Perhaps the fuel filter on the sender is clogged up. It takes fuel from the side as well as the bottom so when the fuel level goes below the side filter the clogged part cant flow enough fuel to keep the engine happy at 16psi. Good idea to clean it anyway. You might thatthere is a small pilke of sand under the sender. It gets sucked onto the filter in use and then drops off when you stop.
