Default waste vegetable oil & kerosene problem

I recently used a blend of 3 Gallons of waste vegetable oil with 1 G kerosene, I used 7 gallons worth of that mix with 3/4 a tank of diesel. That worked well I added a 5 gallon blend of oil & kero more to the tank while it was running, It died while it was running, I emptied tank dropped it & replaced with B20 out of the pump from station drove it about 5 miles & it lost power & wont start. What could be the problem? Please help!

The lift pump is mounted on the inside of the frame rail approximately below the drivers seat.You should check the oil pressure switch for proper operation the gauge on the dash can work fine but the fuel pump switch portion can be bad.
