Don't mean to HiJack your thread, but I have the same after changing fuel filter due to loss of power, nothing comes out the bleed hole either.I think the fuel lift pump is gone bad.

Yeah it sounds like you have a preheater leak. I highly doubt your lift pump is bad, my friend had 400k on his truck and his lift pump still ran like a champ. If its your lift pump its a cheap fix they are like 90 bux at Diesel Performance Parts Power Chips Diesel Exhaust Intake Performance Products I would check them out for the fuel heater gasket to.
