If the “sock filter” has become clogged at the bottom of the fuel pump assembly submerged in the gasoline tank,
the vehicle will run fine for a length of time,
then suddenly die when the fuel pump suction above the sock filter “cavitates” which makes fuel pressure and volume pumped fall quite suddenly to zero.

After a few minutes of cooling down, typically 10 to 30 minutes, the fuel pump will be able to run again without cavitation for 1 to 4 hours.
This is more likely to happen in hot weather,
but also with varying gasoline chemistry.
