Hi Greg,
Fuel filters are a good start. I would also check all of the rubber
hoses under the car. My wife's 250 had gas problems - I chased it all
over the place - New filter, new fuel pump. Finally saw one of the
rubber lines had a kink in it. It must have been bent in the same place
for years, but it finally got soft enough that when there was suction
through the line it would collapse. I suspect it could be affected by
heat as well.
