Peugeot 407 SW Diesel (2004 - ) - Air in Fuel Filter / Diesel drains back to tank? - itchytrig

Hi,

Stuck on this one, after leaving the above for a few hours, I find the diesel has drained back to the fuel tank. No leaks underneath either!

I have to then manually prime the diesel back to the engine before it will start again.

Any ideas, simular problems out there? Before I attempt spending £££ on Fuel filter housing and new £££££ fuel pump?

Runs a dream when the fuel is in there and drives fine, but only happens if I say leave it overnight?

Thanks!

Seems maybe one of the one-way-valves in your primer may be duff.
