Default 96 Neon Stalls after some time....

Folks,

The steel gas tank has a different fuel filter/regulator setup to what is described in the Haynes manual for the more common plastic gas tank.
Has anyone any experience with regard to replacement of the fuel filter in the steel tank, or where I can find related info?
What part are we looking for in order to replace the fuel filter?

The car stalls after about 15 minutes of driving.
The engine cuts out totally, even when doing 70mph on the freeway.
Leave it a few minutes and the car goes again like a dream.
Engine purrs smoothly and plenty of power on pull off.

Having perused the forum I have an idea to replace the EGR valve, but I would also like to check out the fuel filter.

The local (no longer) trusted mechanics have replaced the coil twice, plug wires twice, plugs and cam sensor without resolving the issue.
Timing belt and water pump are new.
Fuel injectors flushed about a year ago when the problem first started.

Now I take matters into my own hands.

This is a 96 2L SOHC manual shift Plymouth Neon with 63000 miles and in otherwise excellent condition.

Any assistance will be greatly appreciated.

I know this don't help but don't mean to laugh but that kind of sounds like someone put a golfball in you gas tank.
