Crud in the tank. Drive awhile, the crud gets sucked into the filter. It starts to clog, the engine slows down due to fuel starvation, then quits. With the engine off, the fuel pump is no longer sucking up the crud, crud drifts away from the filter, engine then starts and runs until the crud blocks the fuel filter again. Repeat.
Pure speculation, but it's happened to me. Replaced the fuel filter, it was OK for a few months, then same problem. Another new filter, OK for a few months. Flushed the tank, new filter, happy camper.
