blue rooster,
i had a similar problem not long ago, for several months the gauge was playing up, and the fuel pump would not sound right, but it kept starting and running,then it sat for a few weeks and would not start, changed battery,(3years old) and then 3 weeks later dead, i checked with multimeter at the alternator 13.9 volts and at the battery was 12 volts, starting tracing back and it ended up being a loose nut on the starter motor, not a lot just enough to not get full contact, all works good now.
