7.3 fuel problem

Hey guys, for the past week or so when I started my truck it sputtered and coughed once or twice then it ran just fine. Then tonight I started it and it ran just fine, but I went out to move it later and it randomly started shaking and sputtering quietly and then shut off. I'm thinking it has to be some sort of fuel issue, but I'm not sure what? Any suggestions?

Fuel filter light on?

Water in fuel? Is there any fuel in the bowl?
