There are a couple useful tests here.

1. Swap the supply and return lines on the hard lines, prime and start. If it runs well, this could indicate a supply line blockage, maybe a blocked tank strainer.

Another good test is to put pull the supply and return hoses off of the hard lines and stick them into a bottle of clean diesel and prime. Some people do this to run the motor off of diesel purge to clean the injectors out ( I think that's what it does).

Running well in either condition would indicate a problem aft of the firewall, or maybe a lift pump problem if the motor only runs gravity fed from a raised fuel bottle.
