Inline Oil Heater for tote to centrifuge. Not for high pressure.

Thinning with pump fuel vs heating.
Both methods are done with one goal in mind, to thin the viscosity of the oil so that the centrifuge can pull the maximum amount of containments from the oil.
It is different for every person as their source of WMO can be a different viscosity.

Probably ran out of fuel without realizing it. Check the fuel pick up in the tank. I installed a sump on my tank as I got tired of running out of fuel on quarter tanks.
As for not being able to start, probably worth getting a new starter. Especially with this cold weather.

Buy a gallon of ATF from the auto store. Cut the fuel line and run the truck off of the ATF. For about 5-10 minutes. Shut the truck off and let it sit for one/two days.
Should solve the issue, I had to do it twice. I had the exact same issue as you and thought I would need a new IP. Did this...
I have two return lines. So each system the return fuel goes to it's tank. Yes, some oil will mix with the diesel. It's not enough for me to worry about though.

Well, the oil is still oil. It's never truly "diesel". So you would still get a 60/40 mix of diesel to oil if I understand you correctly. The oil is just cleaned very well with most of the sludge pulled out. It's still oil though.
Did I understand you correctly and answer your question...
I have return lines to both tanks. I tapped a hole and put a barb fitting on the auxiliary tank for the return line. Thread is on here somewhere about it.
Good point on the mechanical pump. I may do that. The only other thing I can think of is perhaps the AN fitting is leaking air. May go back...
I just use the two tanks the truck has. I deleted the front tank and plumbed it to an auxiliary tank in my bed. WMO stays in that tank. Back tank is clean diesel. I flip the switch and I'm good. Recently that stupid FSV has been problematic and throwing the fuse. Its hit or miss when I flip...
Those have an efficiency rating you know. I would check the efficiency of such filter you are using.
That's why I use a centrifuge. I'm the long run it's cheaper than filters and cleans better.
