From what I've found out so far is that I'll remove the back seat to get to the point where I can access the tank top, and take out the sending unit with channel locks.

Hugh,
A leak in the tank area will not directly cause missing at some speed / load. This will only cause the air bubble in the clear filter to become larger and eventually starve the injection pump. Next time you notice this failure, quickly inspect the clear filter and take note of the fuel level inside - there should only be one tiny bubble.
If you suspect that air is problem, begin with the first easily replaceable hose - from the clear filter to the lift pump. This hose is the only hose that experiences vacuum / suction after the clear filter.
