Glad to hear you got it going.
Your diesel is "sucking air". One harmless but messy diagnostic to do is to
to squirt some motor oil on the fittings at the fuel filter and such, if the
bubbles stop you know they are coming in there.
In any case, you should replace the tube with 1/4 inch inside POLY, seeif
the problem  goes  away. did you replace the filter? after years the diesel
can congeal on the filter element and slow it down.
good luck
