Fuse 4 for the intank pump. Symptoms sound like rotted hose connecting the tank pump to the output pipe. There is about a 3/4" gap that this hose bridges, about 4" above tank bottom. Over time the hose "perishes" as the Brits say. When you're low on gas (below the level of the rotten hose), much of the tank pump's output never leaves the tank.

And the main pump (not a good sucker to begin with) draws fumes. All this with tank below half full. Usually the trouble clears up when tank is more than half full (eliminating the air sucking) If yours does, that's your cue to get at the tank pump & hose. Come back if you need help with that, or search for recent postings about "tank pump removal/bung tool".
