if you had "ran out of gas" effect then maybe look at crud from the tank plugging a filter or possibly jamming a fuel pump valve. I have seen a brand new fuel pump get a stuck valve just from sitting over the winter with clean fuel in the tank, a clean tank, a clean fuel filter. an in line filter right before the pump is a good idea on old vehicles that may have questionable fuel tank insides. it's easy to see, access and change.
