It does seem to be a fuel problem, If your engine is fuel injected the fuel pump is in the gas tank. As far as the ground it is grounded through its harness and mounting.. First thing I would do is put a fuel gauge on the fuel rail fitting and check fuel pressures. Pump wil run for a few seconds when the key is turn ON., and then stop ( assuming its working ) A lack of pressure willindicate an inop pump, or even possibly a clog in the fuel filter. Let me know.

It is a blown fuse. Check your manual and you will find there is one fuse that takes care of all of these things.

I would check and clean the wires going to your alternator first, to be sure, but you probably have a bad diode inside the alternator. Depending on where you live you may be able to get it checked out at a place like Autozone but it will have to be checked when it is acting up or it may check okay. If there is an auto electric repair shop in your area you can get them to check and repair it. Repairs should be about $50 to $60 if its the diodes. Hope this helps.

The float is sticking in the fuel tank.Could be expensive if the float is part of the fuel pump.

I had the same problem, a friend said to check gas cap to see if seals properly, bought a new one and the problem went away something to do with the vacuum seal but I do not quite understand that
