Needing Advice on your best bet...
So i was in a convoy today driving 600 miles, they stopped at a non diesel place, and I had to go to a place called Marathon, The pump looked iffy, the noozle looked dirty, but it was the only **** place with diesel around ( dear lord i know i shouldn't have bought diesel there). Anyways So I filled up .. 10 minutes down the road, I lose fuel pressure on my gauge, went from 9-11 crusin to 7-8, an hour later I have no power and and hitting 6... I hit the hotel, take off my pressure sensor, check it, nothing clogged in it. Put it back on, 6 psi idleing. I did buy some diesel kleen and put it in 10 miles out from the hotel, but, the truck has no power, and I really dont want to drive it, if the injection pump is only getting 6 psi. The lift pump runs after a bump, but it only hitting 7-8 psi, it was hitting 15 no load before I left. It was running great up till I got Diesel at that place. The injection pump has 1500 miles on it ... dont wanna hurt it lol. I figured at first my pressure gauge was messing up, but the turbo isnt spooling up much under acceleration, So i think it is either the lift pump damaged by the dirty or bad diesel. Or the filter with 1500 miles on it is now clogged? Drained about 2 cups of fuel outta the filter to make sure there wasnt any water... Help lol ?

pull the filter and see what it looks like. also do you have a filter between the walbro and the tank try replacing that if there is alot of junk in the fuel it might have clogged up the filters.
