All respondents have offered up their respective solutions. The filter issue is not one I have experienced or heard of. Some key questions and perhaps we can sort this out.

1. Flame out with -0- smoke is simply, fuel starvation. . .air bubble(S) or running out of fuel.

2. Flame out with smoke trail indicates the ECU commanded the system to shut down. The "why" is what we need to know.

With every abnormal ECU action, there is an "Error" message available until you shut the system down (off) so with Data terminal plugged in, use the menu down button which is first on the left. It flashes the Error message. The path to follow to correct the error message may be found in the last few pages of the turbine manual received with your turbine. Trouble shooting. . .

It is important to know the fuel system is without fault. I diagnosed one case similar to yours where the culprit was an undersized vent line which of course restricted the balance of pressure in the system. When this happens, the fuel pump gets orders from the ECU to pump more. This increases amp draw which inturn can effect voltage. Yes, the ECU battery condition of charge is important. Back to the pump. When the PW of the pump rises, it does so as demand increases. If it gets close to its limits, ECU makes the decision to abort the run.
