I had the same problem with my car.  The fuel pump filter was full of rust scale, I cleaned that out and it ran better, a sign of this was cornering hard on less then half a tank and the engine just died, then when the car leveled out, it jumped back into life.  The extra restriction on fuel on a low tank was just to much.  The tank will need a good cleaning too if this is the case!!!


BEST OF LUCK!!!
