If you could provide a little more info (year of H3, motor size, mileage, modifications to the motor) etc etc etc, this would help to answer your questions

If I understand your post correctly, Your H3 "Dies" or sputters out when you make a turn (left or right) and you have to hit the gas to keep it running ---------------- If this is right, then you need to check the following:

1. Is there a check engine light on ?
2. Does this happen at "ALL" speeds ?
2. Have you serviced or changed your fuel filter lately ?
3. Unusual that the H3 won't run below 1/4 tank (might be fuel contamination)
4. Are you under any manufacturers warranty still (Dealer may cover repairs possibly)
5. H3 should easily start even when fuel gage is almost empty. This furthers the thought that something fuel related is happening to the rig.

The more detailed you are with the problem, the easier everyone can chime in and help.

Good luck

Fuel Filter is inside the tank with the fuel pump. Not a normally servicable item.
