94-95 dodge ram(no idea what year yours is)fuel pressure according to cummins=18-24 psi at idle, 28-36 psi at 2000 rpm with no load. biodiesel seems to erode old fuel lines or where they seal or something i don't know since i never used any.

There are actually four "filters" in our fuel systems. I found this out this summer traking down the hard start demon. There is the main filter, the heater prescreen filter, a screen on the bottom of the pickup assembly in the tank and the secret screen i found inside the pick up assembly. I seperated the pickup assembly to check on the pick up tube condition and low and behold there was another screen on the pickup tube. So you may want to drop your tank and check the screens out due to the cleaning action of the bio.
so far I have not messed with it because I have been as buisy as a 1 legged man in a *** kicking contest and after I dumpped a quart of lucas fuel system cleaner in it now it is driving better, provided there is no wind nor rain I am going to dig into it this weekend, I am going to clean out the tank, all the screens, change the gear lube, alternator & starter and hopefully I will be fine for the winter
it runs fine now so I am happy

Excellent. My 12V was used I cleaned the prefilter not long after getting the truck and it was as clean as a whistle. 
A lot of the times, the issues with 12Vs are usually stupid things like this.
