I am not sure about this at all.
Probably meant to write that
it is sucking diesel through someplace into the pump.
I had not intended to put this problem to the group yet.
I had just observed the air but not investigated furthur.
The innline is clear, just where the returnline goes out you can
visibly see air gushing out about every 4 or so cycles.
My first guess is to chance another out line and observe.
There are no fuel leaks at the injector pipes or the fuel return hoses.
