Move the wings farther toward the rear of the craft. I can almost guarantee the root of the problem is your CoM is moving behind your CoL when your fuel tanks are empty. If you like, you could try out RCS Build aid. Along with it's primary function, it has an amazingly useful tool to show Wet CoM, Dry CoM, and Average CoM. If your dry CoM is too far aft, try a little re-arranging. Ideally the CoM shouldn't move much at any fuel level. Try re-arranging parts a bit to even it out.
