If air valve in cap is blocked, then no air can enter the tank as fuel is used. This causes a vacuum and stops fuel from pumping. Remove cap when motor is warm tank is only half full and drive for about 5Klm. If it doesn't stall then replace your fuel cap with a new one. If it still stalls then something else is the problem.
