Default Tank Lift kits

Will a tank lift kit reduce the ability of gasoline travel from one side of the tank to the other? I only find 1 over-flow hose at the front of my tank. If I lift my tank up, it'll reduce the ability of a certain amount of gas from draining into the side of the tank that supplies the fuel injector. Am I correct, or is there some other variable I'm not thinking of?

No but gauge will be off. Been running as 1.5 lift for years I think it helps with air flow over heads.

Will it read emptier than it really is or will it indicate there's less gas in the tank than there really is? In other words, when the gauge reads "Empty", will I still have gas or will I run out of gas when it still says I have 1/4 tank left?

When it reads empty you will still have gas. At first i looked a gauge an thought I needed gas pulled in and it a gallon and half filled it . I go buy mileage also now.
