I am very good with my maintenance I replaced both fuel filters 7500 miles ago. I am guessing I ran into a bad batch of diesel on my last fill up. I also did not believe it was an hpfp failure but I did want to get some ideas brainstormed since I'm away from home at work. Have a great weekend all! And I'm with you on working nights 12 down 2 more to go then its back home for days off!
I agree with your thinking about a bad tank of fuel. I remember a few years ago while working for Roehl everyone was complaining about how fast our fuel filters plugged after filling up at our Chicago terminal. It never caused any harm to the engine(although this was a MEUI injection setup on a DD60), but it would go through filters quickly.
I think this is the reason the pressure switch exists, as you were able to solve the concern without starving the HPFP which could potentially cause serious issues down the road. The system worked as designed.
