98 12V won't start

Turns over well, but acts as if it has no fuel. Has been running well. Potential change equals cause...have burned about half a tank of fuel with 'Sea Foam' in it. Have not used fuel treatment before. Seemed to be running better with this fuel additive. Checked/replaced fuel filter. Had 8K on it and it was OK, but changed it anyway. Fuel shut-off solenoid is operating. No obvious cracks/leaks in the fuel supply. Have the screen/gasket kit on order for the fuel preheater. Won't be here till Tue. Other ideas in the mean time?

Thanks,
