As you may have guessed, you may have picked up water/shit in the fuel.. Id change the fuel filter (don't use any other than OEM) first. Failing that,as a test,can you rig it up so it runs from a tank outside the truck to run on clean fresh fuel. The metal flow return pipes attached to the fuel tank are well known to rust....Nik

Try not to use supermarket fuels. I always put the more expensive fuel from shell in mine after having problems with tesco fuel. The rule should be that if your engine is 2.0l or over, pay the extra and put in better quality fuel or you will run into problems.
