Yay! you got it working, Good for you!

The best way to learn something is to have it rampage your brain for a few days (I find anyways).. because when you've finally figured it out not only did you learn how vital it was to not get air in, you probably learned a bunch of other cool crap you wouldn't have if this didn't happen  . I get excited when my cars present problems, but that's just me.. usually people kick and scream about it! Just another learning experience, remedied with some quick problem solving 

Congrats! (why don't we have a beer emoticon? we need one lol) * hands a beer *

Did you just buy clear tubing from a Hardware store ?
Or source some super duper stuff somewhere ?

All mine are going to get clear supply and return between filter and InjPump. And transparent weedeater line on inj returns. On next maintenance.

Actualy I got it at Tractor supply, it's like 29 cents per foot.  My concern was is it safe for diesel fuel or not, it is rated for chemicals but I don't think it is actualy recomended for fuel.  I just wanted to try it to see if I had an air problem and I did.  I think I will actualy try to find some clear fuel rated stuff though just to be safe although it will most likely be the same stuff

The local cat dealer up here sells clear line with a diesel rating.

 I hate to admit it but I think I actualy look forward to problems on them too giving me a chance to diagnose it and buy sme new parts.  I especially like watching for the UPS guy to get here with the box of parts so I can tear it open and fondle the new parts and smell the styrofome packing noodle thingies.  I gotta get out more  I just wish I could get half as interested in doing things on the house that need done as I do with the Rabbit.

I called NAPA and he was out of stock and Advance said they only had it in 1 foot individual peices.  I don't know if diesel will hurt this stuff or not over time, they had fuel rated line but it wasn't clear.  I do want to get the best stuff I can on it though before it might decide to turn to snot and end up in the pump if not cause a fire too

I ran clear vinyl tubing as return line for the injectors for years because it was thin walled enough to fit on the barbs properly.

never gave me any trouble and never showed signs of weakening/getting eaten by the diesel.

I got it at a local hardware store in the plumbing section.

That sounds good and like you said, it's not under pressure either either on the feed side and very little on the return side.  It looks like the same stuff they use on garden tractor and motorcycle batteries and it is obviously safe with battery acid and this stuff did say it was chemical rated.

Rabbit TD, do you remember the I.D. size you used on the supply line (return line also if you did it too) ?

I'm looking at stuff called Tygon.
Its same stuff as weed eater fuel line.
I know it will hold up.
Maxfax even uses it with his heated WVO.

Somewhat similar cost as black fuel line.

Most of what I'm finding is translucent yellow though.
I'd rather have pure clear. But........

Here is a pic of a diesel with it installed (pirated from for sale section).

The line from filter to pump is 1/4 id.  Make sure you get it clamped good too, those little worm screw clamps have a way of not tightening even when they go that small and this tubing isnt the same od. either as regular rubber fuel line is.  I used the type clamp that wraps around the line a little and has a screw and nut on it.

I just thought I'd mention that there's no 'H' in Duraterm.  

I'll be damned, there isn't is there   I guess I was reading a post about them and they spelled it with an H which in reality it probably should have refering to something thermal.  I guess they are refering to extended life, {Term}
