There is about 1/4" of fuel surrounding the baffle area (that is to say that the baffle is about 1/4" submerged) and the gauge is reading a tick below 1/4 full. But I still have the "collapsed pickup hose" symptoms under hard acceleration when the tank is this low.

Anyone have any other ideas what could be causing this? Dave S, are you still out there reading this thread?
Sounds like a crack somewhere within the assembly is introducing air into the system when the fuel level gets low enough. Is the pump still under warranty?
