HELP - 8V92 will not start

[ronmarabito2002]

You have air in the fuel lines. Check the fuel level in each of your
filters. Make sure they are full, then try to start. You may have to
add fuel to the filters several times to get it to run. You have
probably added more air trying to start. Once running, you need to
find the sourse of air leaking into a fuel line or filter. Check the
Racor for bubbles while running. If they are present, it could be a
loose or faulty drain fitting. If no bubbles, then the source of the
leak is somewhere else. Racor leak is common.
