Can a bad fuel filter cause hard warm start?

Only real way to be sure is to measure the actual fuel pressure being delivered .
Are we talking Ph1 fuel filter ?

Unlikely, but you could always check for metal in the filter if the pumps on the way out.
Also check the temp sensor for faults.

Poor hot starts on a diesel will be down to low fuel pressure .
When the Hp pump get hot or expands with heat , thus causing low pressure .
Also injectors can cause this as when they also get hot they can been worn and pass excess amounts of fuel back to the return to tank .
Either way it’ll need checking .
I would research online / YouTube about DIY on how to measure Pizzo injectors return fuel flow .
4 tubes running off the injectors into a bottle for each and measure the amount of fuel being returned . [emoji1303]
