    Check the rubber fuel lines from the sender to the steel lines on the crossmember under the cab. They can get brittle and crack, usually where they are clamped to the steel lines. Be a shame to spend $$$ on an IP if it turns out these are sucking air.

An electric fuel pump mounted close to...

    Your IP is losing prime. Check the fuel line from the tank to filter for any leaks. the line may also be porous, sucking air into the system. Lightly pressurize the fuel tank with a small compressor. It won't take much to push fuel through the lines to the fuel pump so don't over pressurize the...
