I would get rid of the filter between the tank and the pump. Any filter should be located on the discharge side of the pump. Filters on the suction side of fuel pumps are notorious for causing trouble.
All hose clamps on rubber fuel lines are subject to loosening, especially on cars that have sat idle. I'd snug all of them up. If you have a way to empty your fuel tank, I suggest blowing compressed air into the tank (with the cap OFF) through the fuel outlet line.
Some tanks that have been cleaned and coated have a restricted fuel outlet line. This can cause fuel starvation, especially at highway speeds in hot weather.
I'd remove the fuel filter between the tank and the pump and NOT replace it. I'd also cut open and visually inspect the filter. If it has much debris in it, you probably need to remove and clean out the tank.
