McD, don't know your system particulars, but it sounds more like you've plurged, than filter contamination. Check your VO tank for lots of diesel. You can test by adding diesel to the diesel tank. If that fixes it, your problem is that you pumped the diesel tank nearly dry, and the pickup is sucking air when you point uphill.

Normal operation for the 61x fuel system is supply to the lift pump> IP > injectors > return line. If if you leave a system on purge, it usually sends the injector overflow to the VO tank. it usually pumps diesel into the VO tank, until you run out of diesel or change the switch.
