1999 Ford Contour Front Wheel Drive Automatic

currently i am having a problem with the car stalling. it only happens when the tank is at half or less. it will start to buck and then stall as if it is out of fuel and will not restart. when i fill it past half it runs perfectly normal. the mechanic has changed the catalytic converter, fuel filter and tried several other fixes but the problem still persists. any idea what could be causing this? it appears to be in the fuel delivery but all the other fixes do not fit the problem, as if it was fuel filter it would happen at full or half.
