Drain some fuel out of the bottom of the filter and into a cup. Smell it and look for bubbles of other liquid floating in it.

already changed the fuel filter, but saw no particles or water in the fuel that came out of the old filter.

we cranked and cranked and eventually got the system bled out, it took about 3hrs of cranking and cooldown, but it has ran fine ever since, still wandering what caused it though? thanks for the help guys.
