So if you repaired the problem which part was at fault? I try to make one change at a time then you can make a good learning expierience of it. I wonder if the fuel sender pickup tube has a crack in it, the lower the fuel in the tank gets the shorter distance you are able to drive because it pulls air into the line. If you have a full tank you could drive it until it gets to the crack and starts pulling air again...
