yep, you are exactly right, its going to either be that or the tank

since the problem goes at goes. If the screen was plugging up it would

Overload valve is disconnected and by-passed.

I doubt the overload valve would be intermittent.
Tank vent is easy to check, just don't tighten the filler cap.

The switchover valve that's operated by the overboost pressure switch on
the intake manifold!

I'm thinking from my experience in the semi-diesel world that I have a
lift pump that's weak.
The hand-operated primer pump can start to leak air. Try using it,
if it oozes fuel at all it's a bad sign.

Fuel filters were changed after a Diesel Purge at the last valve adjust in
early November. Problem happens with a full or empty tank of fuel. Primer
pump might be a year old now and is the new style. I don't know about water in
the fuel, I might purchase some addative and give that a try.

it has been ongoing for several months. I will get the tanks as low as
possible and check the tank screen.
I'm getting the idea that lift pumps don't have many problems in the 617
engines.
