I think I could fit a non return valve myself if anyone could point me in the right direction.

That's a pity mate. I think the not answering of your calls pretty much confirms he knew it had an issue.
Might be best if you start a new thread if you are going down the route of solving air in fuel issue. No idea about fitting valve but maybe others can advise.

Hi
Have you a clear plastic section in your fuel pipe ?,
On mine dw8 1.9 fuel from the tank runs in a black pipe until it reaches the engine then before it goes into the fuel filter there is a section of clear piping . If any air leaks from the tank to the filter will show there as bubbles. Where it comes from the filter to the fuel pump there is another clear section , and any leaks from the filter to the fuel pump will be seen there as bubbles.
The hand/primer pump acts as a 1 way valve, so if it is faulty( drawing air) you will need new fuel filter assembly as the fuel pump sucks the fuel from the tank .
Pump the pump and start it up and see if bubbles are coming from the filter to the fuel pump . or from the tank
I suppose that just before connector where the fuel pipe turns from black to clear would be where to fit a 1 way valve but it is pointless for the above reasons.

Haven't got around to sorting this yet but got the cv joint replaced as was the noise when turning. what I noticed today though was as soon as the fuel light came on the van started hesitating as if it was running out and cut out at one stage but I pumped the throttle pedal and it fired back up.

Well cable ties aren't that dear to replace
So where does this bit go then ?
