Help please -2000 caviler dies on highway

Hi all - I could sure use some tips on what to look for here. I have a 2000 caviler and can be running down the highway just fine. All at once it just dies. Let it set for a minute or less and it will restart and may run for 20 minutes before dieing agian.

Something I have noticed that if I keep the fuel tank full it won't do this. When I get down to a half tank it starts doing it. I would think it is the fuel pump but it runs fine until it gets to around a half tank--then whamo-it dies.

I replaced the fuel filter but didn't seem to hurt. I did have some pretty nasty gas come out of the filter--Dirty looking.

Any suggestions would sure be appreciated .

thanks in advance--dad47
