Did you check the fuel preheater? What about the soft line from the fuel preheater to liftpump? My 12V had prime loss issues. Turned out to be the softline to the liftpump. It had some extreme dryrot issues.

In 10+ years of owning mine, I have experienced the same problem (twice) and both times it has been the return line.
