The cause is most likely " fuel line vapor lock" This is caused when the fuel line is too close to or improperly insulated from the heat of the engine. When the engine runs and gets hot, the heat effects the fuel in the fuel line by vaporizing the fuel before it gets to the engine. The fuel is not liquid like it should be when it gets to the engine. A quick check to do is when the problem happens, lift hood and let the engine cool down for 5 to 10 minutes, then try to start it. If engine starts, it most likely points to "vapor lock". You can move the line or wrap it, insulate it to keep it from occurring.
