Most cost effective and least complicated solution is to get a baffle/well that surrounds your fuel pick up, welded into the bottom of your fuel tank.
This will keep fuel around your pick-up when you hit the twisties. These baffles differ in design, from the maze type to ones with holes drilled in the sides at various spots and of various sizes, that control how much fuel flows away from the pick-up while driving. Holes obviously allow fuel in when the tank in being filled too.
Find an accrediated fuel tank repairer to do the job. They will attach an approval plate to your tank to certify the work.
If yours is done like mine, a small square section of the tank directly below the end of the pick-up sock was removed, the well/baffle was welded onto that, and then that section was re-welded back into the tank, so the baffle surrounded the pick-up.
Are you sure you do not have an existing baffle in the tank orf that your existing fuel pump, if it is an in-tank one, is not one of the latest designs which see the pump sitting inside a canister / well that works to 'trap' fuel around the pick-up as the tank get empty ?

Thanks, can I ask how much it set you back (If you dont mind!!)
I have no idea if there is an existing baffle.
