L4060 dies again!

[Mike Telesco]

tech came out and Bled air out of fuel filter. It took awhile! Did couple days work with it with no problems . It sat two weeks and same thing. Looks like air is coming from the tank before the water separator. What can I do to get this started again? three years old and only 200 hours on it. Too soon to have these problems

curious, had a look online for the 'plumbing'.. I see 'rubber ' hoses.
if possible, replace the spring clamps with 'gear' clamps.
being 'young', I don't expect the hose themselves to be 'porus' but a clamp not putting enouhg pressure 360 around the hose to tubing could allow air to be sucked in
