The fuel out there today is hard on the original fuel socks typically that have never been changed in the fuel tanks. Practically any modern fuel sock with the same tube diameter inlet can be used. Actually a pretty easy fix but I would also look at the fuel lines closely, like Mr Gifford mentioned, before I would drop the tank.
Easy enough to remove the hoses on each end, install a plug on one end of the hose and connect it to one end of the fuel line.
Then you pressurize a second hose (with a cheap tire inflater) connected between the inflater and the fuel line for a few seconds and then spray the fuel line with soapy water. If you see bubbles you have a fuel line hole sucking air when you are driving the vehicle with low fuel in the tank. The Fuel Tank is not connected during this test.
