Unless it turned itself upside down then "no". I will check and see if
vibrations have twisted it...

If it is ok, then I would next suspect a pinhole leak on the suction
side of the fuel pump. The line to the tank can get a pin hole small
enough not to drip out on the ground at first, but let it sit and air
can get in air locking the gas line.

You need to look for small stains on the gas line, usually near the end
clip on the frame.
