Cranks on first start, when cold or hot, but after sitting 30 min

Good day to one and all. I’m having a starting issues with my 9122re pickup and I’m hoping someone can help, thanks. My pickup cranks on first start, in cold or hot weather, the problem is when I turn the engine off an let it sit for 20 minutes period or more it takes the engine couple of cranks in order for it to restart, and this is always. Might someone have an idea why. And how fix ? Thanks

I've had this experience for a long time, and it seemed (maybe) to start when moving to ethanol-mix fuels. I suggest trying some non-ethanol fuel and see if it does the same thing.
