After about 30 min (give or take), and sometimes a heavy rocking of the vehicle from side to side, it will start again but feels like it lacks power.."

Battery & alternator have been replaced twice.

Could it be a clogged fuel filter?

It could be anything and when it could not be started, you need to check what is missing, fuel or igniton sparks.

Filled the fuel tank when tanker was unloading at station. The vehicle appears to have run out of fuel. After being towed home car started up and ran for 4 days before same thing happened.
Could my filter be clogged? Where is it located? Web says on the firewall drivers side AND another says in the fuel tank. Or could it be the fuel pump working intermitant?

First off, that is something that you never want to do as you have found out. Them filling the tank stirs up all the crap in the bottom of their tank and you sucked it up. You most likely have ruined the pump now.
The fuel filter is part of the pump inside the tank.

Hi,
Problem is I have a Kia Sedona 2004 it runs great but 1 1/2 months ago I had to replace the fuel pump the car ran great. 3 weeks later at one finger nail above empty the van shut down I pulled to side of road. Some one suggested I might be out of gas So I put gas in and it started I then filled the tank. About 2 weeks later at one finger nail above 1/3 of the tank full the van shut down I pulled to side of road I then put gas in it started right up but the tank did have the gas in it but once more I filled it up one week ago the same thing but at one finger nail above 1/2 I filled it up but I could only get 4 gal in Saturday September 20 the van shut down I pulled to side of road got gas started right up I could only get $20 worth gas in tank now at a full tank the same but stuck at Safeway with full tank and the meter shows a full tank but vehicle acts as if there is no gas any Ideas I will donate if its the problem

Is the Malfunction Indication Light showing and have you checked for trouble codes?
When engine could not be started, did you check what was missing causing the non starting?

At no time did the check engine light come on the vehicle just shut down A friend did put an OEM /OBD reader ( I think that's what you call them) reader on it did not give any codes.

When engine could not be started, did you check what was missing causing the non starting?
The only thing I did was to add gas and it started right up.

Since problem started after replacement of the fuel pump, I would start with that. Check to see if the fuel pump connections are good, especially inside the fuel tank. A poorly connected hose or strainer can result in fuel supply disruption.

I believe it is a relay and not a switch. If anything that controls the engine is missing, it is not possible to start let alone drive the vehicle. Did reinstalling the relay solved the problem?
