It's surprising how much junk you can get out of a filter before it starts restricting the fuel flow. Yes, I've been known to clean one out by shaking it and then putting back on when I did not have a spare one handy.
Assuming your guy put fuel in the filters, there is no way that small amount of fuel is going to clog the filter regardless of how dirty.
Thanks for the update although it's still a mystery why the filters caused the problem. Two expensive filters is still cheaper than a visit to a shop. I would put one back on at a time to see which one was the problem and then cut it open to see if there is a obvious problem, but I like mysteries and the smell of diesel on my hands.

Ivy,

I seriously doubt that I have more experience than you when it comes to Diesels but, over the years I had more than just a few filters that were dropped/bent/dented, had o ring cut or just a little dirt on the o ring causing the same problem, bad seal/air into the fuel, so we could look at it for hours and never find the problem. So just do the simplest thing first, new filters.

The best thing here is that the OP reported back and we are all just a little smarter.

Other than water in the fuel I have never had a filter not pass fuel, so I'm pretty sure it was a bad seal/air in the line that caused a loss of power under load.

I Hate Mysteries and nothing worse than the smell of Diesel on MY hands, on Your it smells great, but on my hands NO WAY.
