Changing the fuel filter is not a bad idea but I don't think it will 
correct the problem. I think the problem is in the fuel tank. Either 
the pickup hose is collapsing, has a split in it, or is kinked. You 
might also not have the baffle positioned correctly or parts might be 
missing or broken. Remove the fuel pump and drain the tank. Wipe it 
out and remove the baffle (hint, you have to disassemble it inside so 
you can fold it to remove). Inspect all the parts, clean and replace. 
If the pickup hose (the formed, bent one) is soft or has any splits or 
holes it needs to be replaced. You should get the correct formed one 
and only the "D" venders sell it (don't get shocked at the price, you 
were warned!). You might also need new boots for the fuel pump, don't 
cheap out here this is an area of concern, you don't want any fuel 
leaks or vapors escaping. When reinstalling the fuel pump great care 
must be taken so as not to turn the pump when installing into the 
boot, kinking the pickup hose. If you have to, place a mark with a 
magic marker, on the pump so after you put it in you can see at a 
glance if it is correctly oriented. Make sure to get the wires from 
the pump into the 2 grooves on the boot so the top boot fits 
correctly.
