There may be a problem with the fuel tank internal pickup tube, either a pinole leak or some kind of obstruction.
I would also recommend a fuel pressure regulator be used in conjuction with an electric fuel pump.

Whatever you do, you'll have to have a clean gas tank and fuel line to have a dependable car.

It's equally important the the entire fuel line be free of any kind of obstruction, including tank sealer, debris, or any kind of dent or crimp.

Double check for anything that could add excess heat to the fuel line or pump.

Hot gasoline is very hard to pull with any pump, and most modern blends are worse in that regard than what used to be standard.
