I had something similar happen; the car would go about 20 miles at
interstate speeds then lose powe (30mph max) and then die. If it sat
a while it was ok again, but it wasn't too happy right after the power
loss bit.
My prefilterbwas black too. I had a spare in the glovebox, so I put
it in. The blackened prefilter was so plugged it held enough vacuum
that it would not empty of fuel even when both sides were opened to air!

Seems like there may be air in it. After pondering it a bit I'm
now leaning towards tank screen....
Just got it towed home and tomorrows project is to flush and run
some freash fuel through the system.
In the light, the fuel almost looks black (oil black) in the inline
filter.... so..... I guess the lesson here is to not let a tank
of gas sit for two years....

Tank screen, air in the lines, out of
Diesel? Have you tried disconnecting the tank plumbing
and putting the lines into a can of Diesel to see if you can
get it started?
