Fuel filter light coming on?

Okay fuel filter light started coming on when towing my camper home and got a shudder with loss of power. Managed to get home and pulled the fuel filter and looks normal. Tried to check fuel pressure but I need a better stick gauge. Can I use a dual gauge? Anything else to check for?

Okay so I found a better gauge. Got at least 50 psi at the shrader valve. So kind of ruling out pressure related maybe?

It looked clean to me, see my other post it died completely this morning and would not start. I had fuel in the bowl though. I am thinking my selector valve is stuck mid way and or plugged up with crud possibly both. Been having problems with it. Going to try and blow some air back through the lines when I get home from work
