While Tim Mahler has offered the likely answer (overheating fuel pump),
when you say "the tank was cleaned and lined when I installed it," I say
aha...

Some years ago, I had a local radiator shop boil out a tank and line it
with whatever tank sealer they generally used.  Less than two years later,
the lining material began to come loose and get drawn into the fuel pickup.
 Result?  Mystery stoppages just like you experienced.
