Exclamation Fuel starvation while doing drift circles?

I am pretty new to the drifting world, but when i tried doing drift circles, i felt like theres not enough fuel. Felt like fuel starvation while @ the end of the circle. Everything in the fuel tank is stock. I felt this way even with at least half of the tank full, maybe the gasoline are splashed to the side and the pump cant pick up enough gasoline? Give me some thoughts and advices guys. Anything will be gladly appreciated. Thanks

IIRC 93 tanks are known to have starvation when the tank is low and cornering. In 94 Mazda added baffles inside the tank to help keep fuel from running away from the pump. There was a group buy at one point, or a limited run, of custom baffles that were meant to help this problem.

Best thing is keep your tank nearly full when drifting and always fill up at a 1/4 tank.
