have you done the filters lately,recommend ford filter on this,remove it,drain it and have a look for water in fuel or worse filings from the pump,have you had a code reader on it for a look at faults stored,did have one of these doing exactly the same thing at start of year,ended up getting an ignition switch and hasn`t looked back since but it is very difficult to say and would be guessing if this was what was wrong but would start with the fuel filter and take it from there,also check the fuel pipes for chaffing/rubbing in engine compartment,good luck

My 2001 transit used to do this a lot. Mainly when it was engine was cold. It turned out to be the fuel shut off valve, which was piggy backed on the alternator. 2 different types i.e bosch and poss delco. Had a quote from ford for £1800 to sort, so I bought a brand new van instead. Don't let this worry you too much, as things may have changed, or yours might be a simpler job than mine was. Hope this helps.
