Sounds like a fuel starvation problem, Nick. I think it's time to clean the 
tank.
Imagine this> floating junk in the tank collects on the pickup filter in the 
tank, starving the engine. After it dies and sits for awhile, the junk 
floats away from the pickup and the car will start again.
You could try to drain the tank while its still in the car..you won't get 
all the junk out, but if you see a bunch of junk come out, you will know it 
needs a serious cleaning.
