Rough idle then dead
So I looked through the forum with the search tool and didn't find anything that exactly matched my problem.
1997 F-350 CCLB, 130,73x miles.
Started the truck this morning and it started fine. Started to idle fine.
Went inside to finish some things to get ready for work. Quit hearing the truck idle so I went outside. I knew the one tank was low so I figured it had just run out the tank. Swapped the to my other tank, Key on engine off. Tried to fire it up and it just cranked. Unscrewed my fuel filter cap and wow it was dirty, but I had fuel. Pulled the filter out and tried to fire it up, nothing.
Pressed on the pressure fitting past the bowl to see if I was getting fuel and it barely dribbled out. Is there a clog somewhere in between there?

So you tried to start it without the filter? There is a valve in the bowl that shuts off the fuel if there is no filter. So that might explain that problem.
For the first problem, it sounds like maybe another cps failure.

This thread bears no importance since hundreds of others have had this issue, but I'm going to use it still for personal thought.
New fuel filter, new cps, removed and cleaned cps. Tried a dozen times to remove fuel bowl and couldn't. Tried a dozen times to turn the truck over. Continually cranks yet not fire. Checked the fuel bowl, getting fuel off front tank which has fuel (thought back tank did but doesn't.) Tach moves while cranking.
Couldn't find the FPR screen after searching dozens of websites on how-to's. Have a small plastic cylinder though with 2 O-rings on it.
