Having any work done at a dealer is going to be expensive. Steep markup on parts and a mechanic's time ain't cheap.

IIRC, the sending unit can be checked with a VOM (see other threads and FSM for details). If it checks out bad, it looks like a fairly easy DIY (at least one DIY thread on this site plus the FSM). If a search for "fuel pump" doesn't work, try "fuel starvation".

I doubt if Techron, et al, will clear up the problem at this point but it's worth a try.
