fuel tank probs

after getting my injection a bit more sorted i now have a problem that when i turn right at some speed i get fuel surge,the tank (ally) has a baffle in it but seems to be more holes than plate also when draining the tank i noted fuel stopped running while there was still 1" of fuel in the tank,pick up is right on the bottom.
i thought about putting a banjo fitting in the middle of said tank,obviously its difficult to get a nut on banjo bolt so i found this. https://secure1.actinicexpress.co.uk/shops/partsforaircraft/index.php?section=64
one from the bottom,a push in 90 deg outlet,its sposed to be for aircraft use,any thoughts?

Ideal for adding to the top of a tank as a return.

There will still be an amount of fuel That you can not pick up, its only 6mm and is the tank thick enough to hold it?

I had the same problem with the stock tank (MG Midget) and just made my own in Ali, I put 2 baffle plates with no holes in either side of the intank pump. They go almost to the top and have a very small gap at the bottom, It seems to work fine.

Have you thought about adding foam to the tank?
