Thank you Justinray, electric FP seems to be functioning as scheduled.
Progressive IP failure?

Oh yeah, another possibility. My powerstroke did almost the same thing. Progressively worse and worse, turns out the shower heads had broken off and the chit got sucked up and lodged somewhere. Ended up blowing out the lines.

It may be shower head parts! Was running great this morning...started buckling like there was no fuel..gauge says about 1/4 tank. Filled the tank and right back to running good.

Well now... If the engine starts running poorly at 1/4 tank.. Then I'm sure you have the broken off shower heads in each tank. Easy fix is never allow the tank level to reach 1/4 tank. That right there is a free fix.

Drop your tanks and install 75cents of 3/8's fuel hose to pick up the last quarter of your tank after you clean out all the rotted plastic from said shower head failure and then you can run your tank into the red on your fuel gauge. Well at least that's what I'm able to do since I did the the modification. By myself took me id say 6 hours to do both tanks.
Loss of fuel affects internal pump pressure which affects timing. Putting a fuel pressure gauge on the post filter feed to the IP is the only way to know if it is caused by an external problem, or if it is an internal one. At 70K, anything is possible.
Thank you for the input gentlemen.
I need to drop the front tank anyway...something screwed up with the vent. Another project on the board!
