My 1992 Volvo 240 wagon starts but wont stay running

My name is Jonathan and my 1992 Volvo 240 and I need advice. (automatic transmission)
I just took my car into my mechanic and he said he would drive it anywhere. A week later she is broken down but home. The wagon starts ( sometimes with the assistance of giving her some gas) and then I'll lose acceleration while driving and she dies with a stutter. I told my mechanic I thought one of my fuel pumps was going out because it seems if the car has less than half a tank it runs rough and now not at all. I will admit, I think I heard a loud knock the day this happened ( which I think came from the rear of the car but am uncertain).
Any advice you can send my way is greatly appreciated. I love my Volvos and its all I have ever owned. I wont abandon my Swedish brick.

Warm Regards
 
As you mentioned, it seems as though one of the fuel pumps is going out. But I would recommend checking fuel, spark and compression on your cylinders.
