1999 7.3 lost power

about a month ago my truck lost power and started shaking and service engine light came on also i did some research on here and and found the plugs under the valve covers to be loose on both sides i did the quarter fix
truck ran great till one day last week i was on my way back from a fishing trip
and it started dong the same thing again i was getting low on fuel a little past 1/4 tank i finally made it to a service station and put some fuel in it just to see if it would help any it did smooth out after a little while and has not done it since both times it did this i have been at 1/4 tank of fuel could i have some water in my tank causing this or some kind of fuel pick up problem
any other ideas would be appreciated

Drain the water separation bowl - catch the fuel in a jar and see what it looks like. I would also change the fuel filter.
