Re: [Chrysler300] Hard Luck Award Nominee?

Mark;  In addition to what Mark said, below,  remove this filter screen 
and check the suction tube for blockage.   I had the same experiences of 
fuel starving , after  a few minutes of driving and high speed cutout, 
that the tube was over 50% blocked with hard crud at the bend while the 
screen itself was clean.  The blockage sludge was so hard that Solvent 
nor flexible drill could not remove it. This blockage was a difficult 
find as I did everything you did and then some with no improvement.

When that filter is clogged it is common for the engine to get sufficient fuel for just a few minutes after setting idle for a while but then it will begin to starve as the demand for fuel is greater than the available supply rate.  It sounds to me as if you need to check for free flow from your tank to the electric pump and then maybe also to the main pump.
