Needless to say I drove off and got to my next destination and it did it again. So seems it is intermittent.

You know ,when you said you took off the gas cap and it started ,it reminded me of a problem that I had a couple years ago that was the same and it turned out to be the gas cap wasn't venting and allowing air into the tank so it would get to the point where the pump couldn't pull any gas out of tank. See if your locale parts store can test it. It's suppose to hold pressure but allow air in!!

Simplicity is the ultimate sophistication.
Torque it down till it breaks off, then back it off 1/4 turn.
