I have more questions than answers right now:
... Was this tank ever sealed with a chemical fuel tank sealer?
... How does the fuel filter look?
... Have you tried running the engine with the fuel tank cap removed?

<div>First is your fuel pump set up at the tank or in the engine
compartment? That's a beginning. Pumps seem to like
being close to the tank pushing fuel as opposed to being well away from the
tank and pulling fuel. <br></div>
<div>These fuel tanks have a fixed pick up tube in them that can be a real pain
in the posterior if anything has obstructed the tube , end of the tube rusted
off or a tank sealer applied and glued the tube shut or tank sealer applied
wrong & peeling off , clogging the pickup tube. Another fun one
( happened to my car early in my ownership!) Is the lost has cap , rag stuffed
in the filler neck and OOPS , rag ended up in the tank! Does
nothing initially but eventually the electric pump sucked the tag against th e
pickup tube , and sediment fouled the rag and it acted like a blocked fuel
filter. Started , ran for a bit and would quit... That drove me
crazy until I dropped the tank , pulled the sending unit and looks into the
tank ! <br></div>
<div>Mike somewhere you have a restriction keeping your fuel from freely
flowing from the pickup in the tank to feed your pump. Possibly an
internally collapsing rubber fuel line connecting pump to tank?
This ethanol fuel has done some rather odd stuff to rubber components
over time. <br></div>
<div>Just some thoughts which might point you in a direction of discovering
what is wrong.</div>
