From what he told me, it was more an inspired test than a detailed engineering answer. The pump was known good, so he disconnected the fuel line at the filter and bodged a connection to his air line. He shot the line full of air and had one of his guys rapidly check length of the line for a hissing sound or fuel leaking out. He got a hissing sound at the tank end/fuel pump. The flex lines looked good, but one had a hairline crack that opened up only when the system was pressureized, dumping the pressure and starving the engine. When he replaced the flex line all was well, and has been for the last 10k miles.
