Did you get a CEL? What have the temps been when this happened? Are you running any fuel additive? Have you done the in tank mods? What color is the smoke after starting back up? Is the engine oil full and when was it last changed?

CEL=Check Engine Light
Your intank filter may be clogged. When ya get a chance, take the fuel line that goes into the fuel pump off, and blow some air back up into fuel tank with an air hose. Then hook back up and see if it goes away. If so you need to do the in-tank mods.

Yep. Frame rail, right under the driver door. All you'll need is a nut driver, a bucket to catch some diesel, and an air hose. May not be your problem but its an easy test.

In tank, not intake. Welcome to guzzle's In-tank Hutch Mod Web Page
The screens inside the mixing chamber on the fuel pick up assembly in the tank can get clogged. This mod eliminates the screens and modifies the fuel return to minimize air bubbles in the fuel line. There's a picture of a dirty and clean screen in this thread. https://www.ford-trucks.com/forums/9...-no-power.html
