Wierd Fuel Problem

Hi all,
I've got a strange problem and I really need some help!
I have an 86 9000 Turbo. 270K miles. The problem is - I have to keep the gas tank filled to within about 6 gallons of full or the car will act like it's running out of gas.
The problem seemed to start one day last summer and has been present since. It seems more pronounced in hot weather. I have replaced the fuel pump and fuel filter and the problem has not changed.
The first time it happened, the car started lunging and acted like it ran out of gas. I pulled over and called wife to bring me some gas - I put in about a gallon and she cranked right up after some coaxing. I filled up at the gas station and it only took 4 gallons.
I just go finished replacing the timing chain, chain guides and tensioner, water pump, thermostat and both rear mounts and the car is running great.
I'm really scratching my head here. This morning I started thinking vapor lock, but that's just a stray thought.
Any ideas would be more than welcome.
Thanks!
DaveC
