If you're really circulating a lot more gas, then I wonder if this is just creating 
a problem here. There's no point in circulating much more gas than your 
engine will ever need, since, as you pointed out in your other post, large flow 
rates just present opportunities for large pressure differences around your 
system.

Plus, if you really are returning a LOTof gas to the tank, I wonder if it is 
possible that the return flow is so large that it is spraying up against the top 
of the tank. If so, much of this spray could be dripping back into the outer 
part of the tank and depleting the supply in the cup. This MIGHT be the 
source of your problem.

Have you looked down there with the engine running and the tank low? 
Careful, this might get messy!  8-0
