Hey, I was wondering if anyone knew of a "redneck" method of repairing a fuel sock without having to splurge for a new one.

My Contour will have the fuel supply cut-out during hard right turns and/or acceleration whenever it has less than 1/4 tank. The obvious solution is to never get below 1/4 tank, but this gets annoying, and tankering around 5gal/30# of unusable fuel isn't optimal for FE purposes.

Short of buying a new fuel sock, is there a way to make the existing one function better? My pump/sock assembly is easy to get at...just remove the rear seat...but I'm not inclined to spring for a new sock. If I can find a way to patch the old one, I'd give it a try.
