FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE:DELIVERY:FUEL PUMP

I HAVE REASON TO BELEVE THAT MY FUEL SYSTEM RECALL WAS NOT DONE/ OR NOT DONE RIGHT. I HAVE READ THE HOLE REPORT ABOUT IT, AND IN THE REPORT IT SAYS THAT THE ALIGNMENT MARKS MUST REMAIN LINED UP BEFORE, DURNING AND AFTER INSTALLING THE PUMP AND GAUGE UNIT. DO NOT ALLOW THE PUMP OR GAUGE UNIT TO ROTATE DURING OR AFTER INSTALLATION INTO THE TANK, RESULTING IN INACCURATE FUEL GAUGE READING, WHICH WOULD REQUIRE THIS REPAIR TO BE REPEATED. NOW MY PROBLEM IS, THAT WHEN MY SAYS ITS ON 3/4 TANK IT IS EMPTY, I GET A FUEL LIGHT AND MY CAR SPUTTERS AND FUEL CUT OFF HAPPENS. I ALMOST STALLED ON 220, DOING ABOUT 65MPH. THAT WOULD NOT OF BEEN GOOD. I DONT KNOW IF THIS WAS DONE OR DONE INCORRECTLY BUT I WOULD LIKE TO HAVE IT CHECKED OUT, NOW DSC SAYS I SHOULD'T WORRY ABOUT IT.
