I to had a 86 f250, but with the ford ( cat) engine. I expericed what you said many times. Mine would last for several miles until the fuel ran out on that tank, I talked to several older and wiser diesel mech's and we came to the conclusion that the fuel was foaming or getting air mixed in with it. I often wondered if you could do the same thing with a aqurium air pump and control valve and add air to the fuel at the input to the injector pump and if this would help with power and fuel ecomany. david B.
