Broke down again

Yesterday i was happily coasting on the motorway and the car lost power (not stalled) so i pulled over onto hard shoulder when i came to a stop the engine cut out. Called RAC and the guy said it sounds like there is no fuel, but i know there is over a 1/4 tank in there. He went and got some fuel and car started straight away. So this time i am not thinking air lock. I got home and had a look under the car. The tank seems saddle shaped so there are 2 sides to the tank so i think there is a blockage somewhere between the 2 sides so the fuel isn't allowed to pass between each side. I am going to put some Slick 50 fuel treatment in next time i fill up to see if that clears it. If not i also have some Prolong fuel treatment.

Does anyone else know of aggressive fuel treatments so that i can clear the blockage without removing the tank???????
