Gas flow to the engine cuts off

What is your question?

Recently I have had problems with gas flow. If the car has sat overnight I have to turn the key on and off several times pump at a couple of times and hold the key on for a while in order for it to start. Sometimes it doesn’t have any problem after that but lately I can be driving along and without warning the gas flow to the engine cuts off. When this happens it will either die and I have to restart which could happen immediately or take a few tries. Other times if I put it in a different gear I can get gas flow back. When this first started occurring it was seldom it is now doing it regularly PS I can hear the fuel pump hum when I turn the key on. My car has 278,000 miles on it.

How long has your 2001 Honda CR-V had this problem?

Several mos.
