I have a radium surge tank mounted in my trunk and have run the tank completely dry on track. I didn't experience any hint of fuel starve until just a few turns before I completely ran out of fuel. I had a small bobble on corner exit that felt weird, then BAM completely out of gas 3 straights later. had to get a tow truck to pull me in. (at least I took the checker before I ran out of gas. )
yikes! seems like once you get a good air pocket in the fuel line it can cause your car to do that haha. like you said good thing it was at the end lol. fuel pump hanger seems like a easier solution than then full surge tank.
