I would check your filters. Mine was doing the exact same time. It would start all day but once you let it sit for several hours it would have starting issues. I ckecked my fuel filter and the filter and bowl was full of dirt and grime. The little fuel filter weighed about 2lbs. I must of got bad fuel some place. I think I was sucking out of the bottom of a tank because when I buy fuel I buy 125 gallons at a time ( i fill my transfer tank ). Needless to say 2 days later my injection pump went out.

So if I were you, change your filter.

Could be leaks, plugged filter, dieing VP, or the first thing that comes to my mind is the connection for your adrenaline's fuel pressure sensor. Sure it's sealed entirely and not making you lose prime?

The way I check for leaks between LP & tank [ this is a vacuum , so no fuel leaking out , but air sucking in ] is to pressurize the tank with 3 psi , then look for fuel .

Thats the first place I'd check if this problem only started after you put the Adrenaline and the sending unit in. Definately sounds like your getting air in somewhere and its allowing the fuel to drain back into the tank.
