Hmm...Ok. So a little history here.

The senders have never functioned very properly. When you fill the tank, it reads empty for about 150 miles then it reads full and as you approach 425 miles or so the warning light would come on. Never a big deal. Well now it reads full when you fill it so it seems like the problem rectified itself but it was around this time that this problem started. Maybe its just coincidence or maybe there is something to this. In any event, the engine doesnt get fuel when there is still gas in the tank.

So my big question now is: The fuel transfer from side to side is purely mechanical and driven off the main fuel pump by venturi? This means the pump is weak or there is a tube broken or misplaced right?
