Welcome Aboard!
It would be good to test the fuel pressure before banging on the tank any further. If you do not have a pressure gauge you can "borrow/rent" one from some of the chain parts stores.

This quick-to-build assembly will tell you.
Grab a piece of sheet metal, drill a few holes, mount a few LEDs and you’re good-2-go.
You can use LEDs with built-in resistors so they’re ready to use with 12 volts.
Wire A — Connect to pin A of the pump relay.
Wire D — Connect to pin D of the pump relay.
Wire E — Connect to pin E of the pump relay.
Wire P — Connect at the pump.
Mount the panel in the cockpit.
Double-sided tape will work because it’s a temporary panel.
Now, when you’re driving and the engine cuts out, you merely have to glance at the panel to see where the problem is.
