Hiya,

Most likely a plugged fuel tank vent. I believe the vent is in the cap on these models. When it dies again, open the hood and slowly take the cap off while you listen for the sound of air getting sucked into the tank, if you hear air going in as the cap breaks the seal, you have found your issue. Either clean the vent or get a replacement cap.
