I would be willing to work with that, but where do I look?

I have tightened every fuel line clamp under the hood. There isn't any smell of diesel anywhere nor signs of a seep. The cigar hose is brand new. The return lines were done at the same time as the glowplugs.

The primer pump is the new style. Do they leak with age, like the old style?

Why would it start fine, with the block heater, if the issue is air in the lines? I would expect it to still need more cranking.
