Funny story but similar symptom. When we were kids my brother put a crab apple in to the gas tank of dad's Model A. Dad would drive a week or maybe 5 minutes and the engine would suddenly die. Took dad a long time to figure out the problem as the apple would roll around and some times it would be exactly over the outlet shutting off the gas flow. Take a flashlight and check out the inside of your tank.
