check for leaks in fuel line, if you have a hand primer check that. also if can check the fuel pressure that will help if there is a leak or faulty pump. also check the realy for the fuel heater/primer.

have you been able to check the pressure in the lines, somtimes the seals go on the fuel filter can go with no leak just over night or a few hours say 8hrs the pressure will drop... and there is a line linc on underside that has same seals, and them hand pumps can leak as well. if have one.
