I'd verify free fuel flow from the tank through the filter, then try with an electric lift pump.

Yeah, that still is sounding like severe fuel restriction and/or aerated fuel.

As noted above, using a low-pressure electric lift pump can identify whether it's an issue with air ingress on the supply side, as long as there's not a restriction or air leak upstream of the filter. If you put in a pump, best to put it in line BEFORE the filter, not after, since otherwise if there's still a leak at the filter head you could continue having problems.

If you can't get hold of an electric pump, a manual primer bulb and an external fuel can elevated above the height of the IP can do the job as well, you can run it off that and see if the symptoms change.

I had one once where an injector stuck open and was letting compression get pushed through back into the IP, filling it with air, and did some similar things. Confirm there are no problems in the IP's fuel supply before exploring this though.

Did you refill the fuel tank shortly before this started happening?

Where are you located?

yes that happened after i filled it up. I am from Europe Bulgaria. Here there is Euro standard but the fuel is terrible even in gas stations like shell.
Thats why i think its possible to be stucked injector.

Water in fuel? Does your fuel filter have a drain valve on the bottom? Can you drain some fuel from the bottom of the fuel filter into a clear jar to check for water?

Hi everyone again. Thanks a lot for suggestions. I finallu found an electric pump i connected it before the filter but it doesn't work again.I think that the last option is stucked injector.I dont know what else it could be.

Did you try checking for water in the fuel, as ngoma suggested?

The fact that the symptoms began immediately after refilling the fuel tank is extremely important. You should use that as a huge clue.

Before you start taking the engine apart and replacing injectors, you NEED to confirm that the engine has a steady source of high quality, clean diesel fuel with NO air or water or gasoline in it and free fuel flow with no restrictions. The way your engine started and ran in the video you took strongly suggests major fuel restriction and/or air in the fuel and/or fuel quality issues.

A stuck injector letting compression burp into the fuel pump is a small possibility, but it is DEFINITELY NOT the first thing to investigate.

Personally, I would STRONGLY suggest getting an external fuel supply (i.e. a gas can filled with fresh, clean diesel fuel from a known good fuel source) hooked up before the filter, install a NEW fuel filter dry with no fuel in it (making sure the old filter O-rings are removed and the new O-rings are in proper position and lubricated and the filter seats and screws on tight), and, using your electric fuel pump, prime the new filter with fuel from the external can. (Loosen the bleeder screw in the filter head, energize the pump, then tighten the screw when fuel comes running out with no air in it.)
Then, let the electric pump continue running, loosen all six fuel injector unions, and crank the engine until you get a good squirt of good-smelling diesel fuel out of each injector union.
Then, tighten the injector connections and start the engine. Try to keep it running for a while to ensure it is only running on the fresh fuel from your external supply. See how it runs.

If it still runs poorly after doing all this, THEN your next step will be to investigate other possibilities. Candidates would include a stuck fuel injector or, also possible, slipped injection pump timing, or others. But if the engine is running on a contaminated or otherwise compromised fuel source, you can go on forever replacing other parts and it will still never be right. First you have to rule out any chance of trouble there, then move on to other areas.
