If after 200 miles it stalls and then from there on until you gas up it stalls then I would look at Jorrel's suggestion. 'A crack in the in-tank fuel line'
That hose is about at teh 1/2 tank line... that would put you in that 175-200mile ballpark.


If it gets fussy after a long drive even after you just gassed it up, I would agree, it sounds like electrical. Maybe the Power unit behind the Drivers side tail light (on the fender) it need sto be heatsunk to teh fender. It is a Power stage screwed to a heatsink that is screwed to the fender. Make sure the hardware is intact so the power stage is connected to the fender. You might want to disassemble and put Thermal grease between power stage and heatsink.

If you have a spare fuel pump relay, I'd throw it in and see how that works for you.

Next time it stalls. get out and check teh 25 amp fuse. see if it's very hot. it may appear clean but...maybe not
