Once the fuel supply system is refilled, even with a small amount of air being drawn in with the fuel, pressure at the pump inlet will be low enough that fuel will continue to flow from the tank, until the next period of inactivity.

I once had a small crack in the rubber fuel line going from the tank to the steel line. This line is very short but it is there.
When the car heated up it would die like it was running out of gas. It turns out the hose was expanding and opening up the tiny crack. Then it drew in air.
Replace these hoses on both ends of the steel fuel line. They are cheap and easy to replace. And who knows? This could be the source of all the trouble.
