The only thing I can think of, are your leak off pipes ok. Maybe split/perished, could this cause the air to leak in.
Suppose you've checked all other connections including the filter seal, especially around the preheater ring.

Locate fuel filter LH side of engine bay. Make sure there are no leaks around the filter and the collar above it where it seals to. It should be obvious if you have a leak there anyway :y
