Maybe fuel pump

As long as my gas tank is more than half way full, I don't have any problems. At a little less than half, whenever I make a left turn and power out of it, the engine cuts out. Like fuel isn't getting to the engine. A couple seconds later, the engine comes back and everything is working as it should.
When gas gets to about a quarter, if I need to go uphill and left I need to go really slow otherwise the same thing happens. Engine cuts out for a few seconds, comes back and everything is fine.
When it's lower than that, I can't park at an incline and I can't park when my car is leaning right side down. If I park like that the car won't start. Sounds like there's no fuel in the tank.
I also can't accelerate too fast or the same thing will happen.
I had the fuel pump replaced already and it's still doing it. I'm wondering if it could be something else.
