Not sure if this is related but check out my thread;

Houston......we have a problem!

By the way, I have to ask you about your avatar of the old NHL Hartford Whalers Hockey uniform before they moved to Carolina to become the Carolina Hurricanes. Are you from CT or the New England area transplanted to CA?

I dont understand the fuel pump excuse, wouldnt it do it turning either direction or at low tank levels even in a straight? I am 100% certain my fuel pump is fine.

My fuel pump is fine. My Z just don't like hard right hand turns.

Should install a external fuel cel in the trunk and pipe it to the purge tank in the tank. Maybe use a valve to keep it shut. If you starve or run out, open the valve and fill the purge back up.

Maybe use a mercury switch and an electronic valve so tight turns the mercury switch turns on, valve opens, fuel dumps into the purge, but straight line the valve is shut so you don't empty the fuel cel.
