please help with strange problem

Hey guys, another problem i think its the same one as last time. I was getting no fuel pressure, so i decided to take the tank out and clean it, but it was shiny inside so i didnt, but i did find out that the filter on the end of the pickup in the tank was all shredded, so i cut it off and put a new inline filter on instead. anyways, it ran fine for 2 days ran great, but it didnt get to 180-190 degrees lie it did today, and today it started missing and sputtering, so i pulled over and my fuel presure gauge read zero. So, i have concluded that when it gets hot, my fuel pressure stops. What could cause this?

The fuel line is rubber for about 3 feet and its over the exhaust(safe distance but still gets warm), could hot fuel lines cause this???

or can a fuel pump stop working when it gets hot?\

im stumped and need to get to work lol. any help would be appreciated.

If your exhaust is heating up the fuel line and it is located between the tank and your fuel pump , that rubber fuel line may be colapsing due to the rubber softening up and the vacuum created by the fuel pump. I would switch to steel.
