I hope all goes well.Make sure to align the arrows(if it has some) on top of the tank when installing the lid back.Use good hose clamps on the hoses.You do not want a leak because you will be dropping the tank again.
Install a pre-pump filter that you can see through and check every so often.

As the others have mentioned, clogged mixing chambers. The key is the symptoms present at 1/4 tank or less.
The stock pickup assembly and mixing chamber incorporates a "duck bill" attachment that sits above the pickup foot. If the mixing chamber gets clogged with debris, the fuel is then sucked in through the duck bill. The issue there is that when fuel levels drop below the duck bill, it starts sucking in air, and you have problems with the engine running like poo.
