You know, that COULD be a possibility... the lever could be worn or bent and/or the cam could be worn, and the lever slips to the side and it quits operating the pump... should be leaving some wear marks if it's doing that, tho.
Does it then re-start, or only after the pump is taken off and then replaced again?
Also, there could be debris of some sort in the line, or a fitting, or at the tank outlet that stops up the gas flow, then floats out of the way after it quits and suction/flow ends.

After tearing the lines and fittings apart, I found a kernel of wild oats in a brass elbow at the pump that must have moved just right from time to time to stopper off the flow of gas. Never had and more trouble after that.
A customer had a 2010 diesel that would die from time to tome, and I suspected the IP.
It turned out to be a BIG horsefly lodged in the non-OEM fuel valve/fitting that had been installed at the tank outlet. The ports in the valve were rather large, and the insect was in a reducer fitting where the pipe size reduced down to fit the fuel line.
