I installed the Mopar fuel injection kit on my '84 CJ7 258 6 cylinder stock
engine. It is a major improvement in performance and reliability. Although I
kind of miss the eractic nature of my old Jeep. I have driven the vehicle
for 19 years, so, I guess, it is like a marriage--you get used to the bad
habits and miss them when they are gone.

The problem is when my gas tank gets to 1/4 tank or below, it dies coming
out of a turn and I hear a whining noise, then it picks up. I am certain it
is because the gas is sloshing to one side, the fuel pump is pumping air
(whining noise), then when the gas stabilizes it gets gas and picks up.

How do I fix this? Is there a reservior I can install?

Where did you mount your fuel pump? It should be close to the fuel tank, as
low as possible in relation to the tank. (Mine is mounted on the inside of the
right side frame rail). Also, CJ fuel senders are notoriously inaccurate. At
1/4, you may be closer to empty than you think.

The "free" solution is not to let your tank get that low. It is a bad idea to
let these pumps run dry. They will not self prime.

My '81 with the Mopar MPFI kit doesn't do this.
