Yeah, it's got a long way to suck fuel on discos, thick fuel (oil) will bollox it up quicker. A preheater is a good idea if you plan on using svo in future.

Sounds to me like its drawing in air somewhere.
My 300tdi was doing exactly the same and also sometimes cutting out but would eventually restart.
I ran a pipe from a can of derv in the passenger footwell straight to the lift pump and drove about for a few miles. Instantly it drove better and had no issues at all. So I went home, dropped the tank out, flushed it out incase there was any **** in it, refitted it and just ran a new fuel feed line from the tank direct to the lift pump. The old girl has never missed a beat since and has been a great truck.
The worrying thing is I bought it off a mechanic who apparently had the problem for months and couldnt fix it.
