Yep it is a very bad design. And as you have noticed the pump can't prime when that container is empty and the only way to get it to prime is to fill the tank full enough that the gas goes over the walls of that little container.

I have had it happen a few times and im boosted so its very scary! I do think if you are at WOT coming out of the corner your chances of this happening are very high.
I do not see how it is possible to be down to 1 or 0 dots and not have this happen. It got me with 3/4 of a tank once. Granted I need more fuel and was screaming up an on ramp. This is without a doubt a problem that needs fixing!

All you guys saying you go down to 0 or 1 dots and it not happening are not reading how to recreate this issue. Take it down that low and then go on a long right had corner while applying power. I guarantee you will fuel starve in this scenario. Have your tow hook handy

KNOCKED ON WOOD!
Never had a issue and I have ran it almost bone dry. <15 miles to empty.

i agree with the minority here. I have been 1 to 2 dots in hard turns and had no issues what so ever...

I just verified. I was at 6 dot when it happened, it dropped to 5 dot when I stalled.
Just have your AAA ready when it happens. I can't believe it cut out that easy on the street argg |

I had 4 dots when it happened, the gauge dropped to no dots and the car stalled. I turned the key on and sat there for awhile with the pump on. There must have been just enough fuel to transfer back over cuz in about 2-3 minutes I was good to go again.
It does indeed suck though.
