injectors lasted one month..why?

i replaced my injectors a month ago beacause of water in fuel...my fault. after cleaning out the tank replacing the pump and all 8 injectors, it ran great. a month later, it bucking and missing again. do i not have enough fuel pressure? i havent checked it yet, what should it be? the injectors are rebuilt from real diesel...i couldnt swing fords prices. any help would be nice. thanks.

Replace that fuel filter right now whether you think it needs it or not.
And capture the fluid that comes out of the drain tube in a bucket to see if you have any more water in the fuel.
Other than that you might have some poor connections for the valve cover wiring harness's.

Are you positive it's the injectors? Bad wiring harness can have the exact same effect.

best way to check the harness is first do a buzz test to check injector response, then ohm out the harness
