Your fuel filter wud have to be pretty clogged to allow that to happen, but change it anyway. Can you hear the fuel pump run? If so, check for a collapse fuel line or a frozen line. And make sure no one has put anything in your tank.......

ok new fuel filter all lines were replaced with rubber fuel lines due to rust...yes i can hear the fuel pump and no one put anything in the tank i replaced the stock one because i thought that might have been the problem but it still does it
