Dodge diesel problem

[jgn]

I've purchased a Dodge 3500 dually that my father in-law had bought wrecked and had minor repairs done to it to put it back into shape. The only problem it has is if it is left sitting for a couple days without starting it the fuel line loses prime and you have to bleed the injector lines to get it to start. The guy he bought the truck from said there is a line on it leaking. Anyone had this problem or know what line or what other problem may cause this? Thanks, Greg.

You can probably find the answer to your problem here http://www.dieseltruckresource.com/dev/index.php

It is the best Dodge diesel site I have found.

Richard this is what the previous owner had said also and from what I've seen about the subject on the website TXBobcat suggested I feel pretty sure its the fuel line leaking causing the problem.
TXBobcat, thanks for the link, it looks like I should be able to find out anything I need or ever want to know about diesels. Thanks again for your replies.

Another great site for Dodge trucks is http://www.turbodieselregister.com/

Lots of info on both sites.
