What I think would help, and would be relatively inexpensive is to install a pressure gauge in the fuel line past the HFCM with a display in the cab. The pressure should be low enough to use an ordinary oil pressure sender and gauge pair.
By noting the normal fuel charge pressure heading to the engine HPFP you should be able to identify if the pressure is dropping due to HFCM filter clogging, air or the like and hopefully head off any problems.

I'm not sure how much something like that would help. I don't think it would hurt, however I do think it would be a possible target if Ford was looking to deny a warranty claim, so you have to take that into consideration.

They said "yes, just use an additive".
I know there is some question about it. Just saying what they told me.
The common sense part of my brain tells me if you can't get consistent quality fuel then you do what you have to.
If you live where I do and it's readily available then use it ( pay for it ).

I don't now what could accurately determine pressure within that range.
