This  could very well could be what happened to me
last year on a road trip, a  clogged tank.

This is exactly what I was thinking the problem  could be.  I have seen quite
a few of the blocked fuel tank problems on the  older vans lately.  All the
same troubles show up at the same time.   Built in time bombs!  Back flushing
will work to get you unstuck but  eventually a new tank will be needed.
