These are the o-rings on top of the IP correct? If so I do have a set.

- Lift pump "out" to main filter "in"
- Main filter "out" to IP "in"
- IP "return" to main filter "return"
These 3 hoses are rebuildable but it's much easier to just buy new ones. Don't forget the crush washers. Also be sure to blow out the banjo bolts with brake cleaner while it's apart.
The fuel preheater valve is rebuildable with a rebuild kit. This can be bypassed for the summer months but you will want it next winter.
The remainder of the fuel system is standard 5/8 hose with traditional clamps.
I think you have an air incursion in the fuel system somewhere up front. I would start by rebuilding all these items and see if that doesn't fix it.
Remember that the fuel system operates at a pressure lower than atmospheric on the supply side so if there is a bad seal it sucks in air rather than leak fuel.

Sounds like a good place to start and good preventative maintenance (particurally that heater)
Interestingly my G-Class also sprung a fuel leak the other day but it hasn't developed a hard start problem.

Annoyingly I can't quite figure out which hose to order
