it seems there is a air lock
Highly unlikely on a common-rail. What's it actually doing? Is the MIL light on?

MIL light on when its running theres only 1 light on thats the fuel light its got nearly 2 gallons in , i noticed when i got the the air filter holder off and starting pumping there was alot of air bubbles going to the fuel filter maybe one of the lines is faulty , the old diesels where easy to fix but these are pressurised whats your advice mick

what are you saying theres a faulty line , does it mean renewing the lines from tank to the pump
|
Yes; these are nothing like the old diesels and they are frighteningly easy to catastrophically damage by fiddling.
With only around 2 gallons left; have you considered that the fuel gauge may be lying?
