Let's keep our eye on the prize (a reliable running engine) and as I've demonstrated many times before, I have no problem spending your money to that end.
I read your original post carefully and I'm in complete agreement with the pick up tube and fuel pump suspicions. The alternative of running around off the top half of the tank means you're carrying a half tank of fuel you can't get to. Not a great option.
I recommend getting aggressive with this and be done with it. I'd replace the fuel pump with the Cat 30 model from Moyer AND replace the pickup tube no matter how good it might look. While you're mucking about in there, be sure the fuel hoses are all A1-15 alcohol rated. If they're not clearly marked as such, change them too. Triple check the tightness of all the hose clamps at every connection. Why not be thorough?
