In-tank fuel lines may have developed pin holes, When fuel level is low remove gas cap, look inside tank with a flashlight and cycle the ignition switch. Look and listen for evidence of fuel spray, hissing and gurgling of fuel.

This, I had same symptoms and it was the fuel line in the tank. Remove the gas cap and turn on ignition. If you hear gurgling or bubbles it's time for new vent tube in tank. Might as well replace the filter while in there.
