Wills, You need to check that the fuel pump check valves operate and hold 1 bar or so fuel pressure in the fuel loop. Check by attaching proper fuel gadge on the end of the fuel rail on top or the series of injectors. Run the engine then turn engine off. Should hold 1 or more bar pressure. If not the hot engine/turbo will vaporise the fuel in the fuel lines and cause vapor lock. The fuel pump has a replaceable check valve to hold pressure in lines. Could be seeping injectors too. This testing may be out of our ability or you don't have the correct fuel gadge and fittings but at least you know what is to be looked at. Replacement check valves are cheap. Fred R. William T.
