That might be a hint. Have you put a shot of isopropanol in the gas
tank to make sure there isn't some water rolling around in there?

Another possibility is large flakes of rust from the tank. There is a
little cone-shaped plastic filter on the intake side of the fuel pump
that is designed to keep these flakes out of the pump mechanism.
Sometimes they can plug that filter intermittently, dropping your fuel
pressure.

A fuel pressure guage attached to the fuel rail might be a good
diagnostic.
