Ok try taking the hose off fuel pump inlet side and put it in a 5 gall of diesel use the gas can as fuel supply and see if your probel goes away and the fuel filter stays full .... if so then a prob lies with the tank and fsv and such

At the front tank sending unit there should be a supply and return hose... take those off the sender neck and run a new supply line from the sender (out to the inlet of the mechanical full pump. And the other line to the (return) tee from sender to the tee that the diesel fuel returns to from each bank.... does that make sense?

Have you checked the fuse panel for a blown or weak fuse? Causeing the fsv not to work all of a sudden? You can cycle your front to rear switch and listen to see if you can here it switch back and forth....
