Is it possible that you have water in your tank from bad gas?

I have a '76 280Z also. Mine does it below 1/4 tank and when turning left. It's very apparent that it's fuel starvation. I've heard of other people moving the pickup to the bottom of the tank. Others put fuel tank foam in to help. Does your Low Fuel light work? Mine doesn't

Z tanks are not baffled well, there is one small baffle in the middle of the tank and it dosn't do much. The stock pick up sits about 1 inch from the bottom. What I did was weld on a Gas Tank Sump Kit from Jeg's, or Summit. It hangs below the tank, and has a inlet, and outlet threaded openings. This keeps constant fuel for you fuel pump.
P.S. If you are thinking of doing this, bring tank to be dipped, to remove all fuel and vapers in tank before welding!!!

No I dont have any water in the tank,But that
probably react similar.The sump idea sounds great,What about ground clearance?Cost?
And no my fuel light has never worked.How can I
fix that can`t seem to find any schematics for wiring.Thanks Jim
