Alex: Disconnect both ends of the line., put a cap or plug on one end of
the line and a snifter, or schrader valve (air valve like a tire valve)
on the other end. Pump some air (not much) into the line. Spray the
line with a mixture of dishwashing soap and water at all of the fittings
and the line itself. You can use a product that the gas companies use to
detect leaks. This is expensive but is a little more reliable than the
soap and water trick. The leak will show as bubbles forming.
Good luck:

Subject: lv-ab: Air leak into the fuel system
Hi all!
Can anybody come up with a smart way of locating the source of air in
the fuel. I went across the whole system tightening down clips and
bolts, still air gets sucked in somewhere.
