Not sure on which side of fuel pump that you are getting air. If it is between the tank and pump, check all fittings for fuel leaks and line. If any are leaking you should see fuel. Another problem could be the fuel tank is drawing a 'vacume' after the tractor is operated due to a heat build up of the fuel tank and then cooling off. If the tank is not vented, the fuel will heat and expand while the tractor is being operated, the prusure build "minimal' will disapate as fuel is used. After shutdown, the fuel will cool, contract, and draw a vacune, possibly creating a void in the fuel line. Check tank vent. If the leak is in front of the fuel pump, between the pump and injectors, the pump, lines or injectors, or some combination, are bad. Hope this helps. Good luck. Glad to see someone still using a IH-150. George
