I don't get it, tank still has fuel. If the purge tank always runs dry because of the sharp turning than all you'd have to do is prime the pump a few times. Same as if you ever replaced a fuel pump before. Turn the ignition on but don't start it like 5-6 times. The pump will suck up fuel into the purge tank and fill it back up. Than you can start the car. Unless I'm missing something here! Every fuel pump I've done before is on an empty tank. When you pull everything out and dump the purge tank and swap pumps, the purge is put back in bone dry. Only way to fill it back up is fill the tank completely (which isn't possible in your garage) or prime it several times. It shouldnt be a big issue.
