Could the lift pump be an issue? Does it start acting up when there's less fuel? What else can be related? Can it be something unrelated to fuel even though it acts up depending on fuel level?

The primary, secondary fuel filters and tank strainer have been changed. One of my injectors was leaking so I thought that was it. I changed the hose and still not fixed.

EDIT: Just wanted to add that I still have the old style primer pump. Could that be the issue? Is there a way to test it?
Find out where the Fuel tank vent is and make sure that is cleand out.

Fastlane sells Fuel Supply Lift Pump kits with new Valves and Springs and a resonable price. Since it may be a Euro Fuel Injection Pump (M Pump???) you will need to take a look at the little tag that is somewhere on the Fuel Supply/Lift Pump or give the Numbers from the Tag on the Fuel Injection Pump itself.

Although it does not sound like you are having the below issue I am going to post it.
