If you pull the tank make sure your using submersible fuel hose. Super expensive but better than pulling a tank 2 or 3 times.
Good video here.

Make sure you get a section that shows SAE 30R10 on the hose. Even if the price is correct they could still cut from the wrong spool thinking its all fuel injection hose. Don't trust the box its in either!

Replace the fuel pump, it has a built in check valve that may have failed which will allow it to deliver sufficient pressure while it is running, but not hold it when it is not. The pressure drop off appears to be too fast to represent a leak on the pressure side. A leak that bad should make it difficult to achieve sufficient pressure and should get worse with use in the typical fashion a hose leak would. Failure to generate fuel pressure immediately upon being turned on indicates you have a fuel pump problem. Bad pumps can run and generate, intermittent, little and no pressure.
Put unleaded fuel in it. Despite your feeling it runs better with premium. Premium takes longer to burn in a relatively low compression engine and could contribute to a rich condition, especially if engine wear resulting in lower than normal cylinder pressure is present. Consider a compression test. When I ran premium fuel in a low mileage 85 2.8L V6 Firebird, it became noticeably sluggish and it ran hotter. I never did it again the symptoms were so immediate and obvious.
Intermittent stalling in the presence of the parts you have replaced would cause me to consider the distributor also. I had one in a Fiero that would run the car 3-4 miles and quit, then startup after cooling a few short minutes and repeat the cycle.
If that doesn't fix it, the ECM is next.
