fuel pump...sending unit?

OKay I went to the track today drove 190KM all crusing. Got there and it said I have 1/2 tank. I make 6 passes then the car stumbles and wont hold pressure.

I then go and get a can of gas and put 5 liters in....starts right up. Take it to the gas station and it only took about 36liters to fill.

SO i drive on home then on the highway i notice the car surging at 2500rpm. So i drive at 3000rpm and its fine, As soon as I pull off (160KM) the car dies. I go get another 5 liters of gas and it starts up.

So now i take it to the gas station to fill it and it only took 21 liters (this was like till it was pouring out almost)


The car has a 255holly with about 8K km on it.

Could it be the sender or pump?

I ORDERED A NEW PUMP TODAY BUT BEFORE I PUT IT IN I WOULD LIKE SOME INPUT/OPINIONS
