OK, I have air intrusion, I do not believe it is o-rings and caps but would rather suspect it is somewhere under the truck, possibly the fuel pollack valve. I may not get to it until Spring. Since I have a new lift pump, I really hate to take it out of there. So I was thinking of plumbing a Carrier pump under the hood in parallel with the stock lift pump. The electric pump would not run when the engine is running but could still be used to prime the system before starting. Then if I get tired of my lift pump or it gets tired of me, I can yank it and cap it off and then hot-wire the Carrier. See anything wrong with this?
PS I suspect (but am not positive) that what happens to me is that from the lift pump to injection everything is fine. The truck always starts but then the lift pump delivers air from the line below it and it stalls. I think I can temporarily fix this by running a full tank instead of the nearly empty one that I usually do. It is not a fuel tank "shower head" problem because once I restart after the stall, it runs fine.
