Thanks; the vacuum tested ok today. I like the fuel bleeding away idea. I have a clear, generic inline fuel filter just before the lift pump,it has fuel in it...perhaps there is a check valve in the IP to maintain fuel pressure and it's weak? If so, any idea if it can be changed/examined in-situ?
The first start of the day takes about 60 secs of cranking, sometimes two cranking sessions(with a starter cool down break in between).
The temps are warm enough that the glow plug light isn't coming on; I have tested them, found OK.
