You want to make sure you don't have any fuel line leakage anywhere. Assuming all is well with those things----------- Not sure but maybe the inline pump you installed is cavitating and putting enough air into the injection pump over time that it effectively empties out the fuel in it. Can you see the stream of fuel in the line before the pump? If you have a hand vac you can pull from the little (injector return) line on the fuel return circuit whilst clamping off the return hose. That'll pull fuel up into the pump from the supply side and re prime it. Next time it's acting up pull over shut er down and try that. You'll probably pull air for a while before you get much fuel. After that see if your power comes back. It just might. Doug Ferguson

All the fuel lines seem to be clear of any excessive heat sources. I'm 
planning on asking the most recommended diesel Dr in my area how much to go 
thru pump and injectors.
