If water seperator remains full and filter drains I would suspect an air leak between the two, possibly the flow sensor or seal in the water sep. Otherwise capt George pretty much captured other likely suspects. ive seen old / cracked fuel lines let air in and also have had pickup tubes crack and allow air to bleed in when tank level drops.
