Weird car problem.......
My Astrovan has a 27 gallon gas tank and the fuel pump is in the gas tank. As long as the tank is nearly full, it runs great. But when it gets down around 1/2 tank it misses and sputters and will even stop sometimes. But if I wait awhile, it will start and run again but will continue the problem every few miles. Fill it up and it runs great again. Any ideas?

Here's what I do when I have a problem like that: I take it to a mechanic and just hand him my wallet and ask for mercy.

Next time it does this, open the gas cap, close it again and see if it’ll start right up.
Could be clogged vent hose.
If your vent line is clogged removing the gas cap should equalize pressure and allow the pump to work against atmospheric pressure instead of pulling against a vacuum.

Agreed, and the other wierd solution, the fuel pump being submersed might be allowing it to run freely. Is this the original pump?

Not the original pump. I've put three others on it. It has 348,000 miles on it.

I would do what Radar said, it makes the most sense. Once the fuel level starts dropping it starts pulling air to fill the empty space. If it can not get any (blocked vent, crimped hose) it starts creating a vacuum. The pump is not strong enough to pull that much vacuum.
