Look for the leak, fix it and voila everything in order.

Make sure that the tank is above the engine, so that there is a gravity feed to it. That way, the only way air will enter the feed pipe is if the tank runs dry.

What about the leak? Now diesel will leak out!

Wish I could see them lifting up the tank!

Find someone, someone who is local (meaning someone who can look at the fuel system) and has reasonably good vision and has just a smidgen of common sense and ask them for help.

It won't take an especially bright person to fix this minor air leak. Just some common sense.

Apply air at very low pressure to tank breather and check for diesel leaking.
