I would take a very good look at the seals on your fuel filters, especially
the "O" rings. Just the tiniest bit of dirt can prevent a good seal and
introduce air into the line. the other obvious are the line attachments
between tank and filters, fuel lines, etc. Are the fuel lines intact?
Are there any drips anywhere? Dryrot?
Does the engine run? Does it run and then stop? More info would be
required to diagnose.
I think the other fellows Idea of a small 12v pump installed prior to the
filters is a really good idea - it acts as a back up to the primary engine
fuel lift pump also, pressurizes the lines, etc.

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.
