Solved.

In reviewing the OE parts book, I noticed that the metal front to rear fuel lines are each in two pieces, with a short rubber hose junction to join them.

Jacked up the car, found the junctions. Both were original, hard as rocks, and weeping diesel.

Replaced them both with fresh fuel hose and clamps, and have been running around in it all day without issue.

Thanks to all for the help!
