Bleeding every morning

I just replaced my lift pump and fuel filter. All my fittings seem good and I have no fuel leaks. However, I have to bleed my fuel system at the injector pump banjo and then crack my #1 injector while cranking to get the ol girl to start. Once it starts in the morning, it runs and starts good the rest of the day. Can air get in statically without fuel coming out when pressurized? Is this the end of my injector pump? Is there any problems running low-sulfer in a 99?

Me personally I think there is a problem to using ULSD in a 99...

Check out this link...

As for bleeding the system every morning is telling me you got a fuel line leak. It's sucking air back into the system and losing prime. Check all you fuel lines for leaks or wet spots...

You might try bumping the starter in the morning and seeing if that help starting the truck.

Do you have a fuel pressure gauge? I HIGHLY SUGGEST you get one...

I think you might have to tighten your FF canister lid more. Did you lube the o-ring with fuel?
Double check all your fittings again.

I think I need to investigate the canister also and I'm gonna replace all my banjo bolt washers. I've been problem free with old #2 and B100. I just started having problems with low sulfer diesel. Thanks for the replies and Semper Fi Marine... (Cpl from '91-'96)

I would follow both the supply and return lines closely. They are known for failure behind the tank along the frame rail. The clips that hold them to the rail are the common places the lines fail. If you see and signs of dampness you can bet its pulling air in. The return lines will fool a lot of people and they are known to cause the problems you have.
