LDV Pilot starting problem?

LDV PIlot van. when vehicle has over half a tank of diesel it starts first time every time. When less than half,the vehicle fails to start first time from cold and appears to be out of fuel. After three or four attempts it will finally draw fuel through and will start and then run fine all day. confused, so am I. LDV Pilot, Peugeot engine, 1900, T, 99. I have already changed the hand prime, this changed nothing.

Hi all, I have a Pilot with an alarm system fitted. I went to start it and it is refusing, the heater light comes up and it turns over fine, but wont cough. I think the alarm system is malfunctioning and stopping it from starting. Is there any way I can check this?
Thanks.

sounds like it,s drawing air somewhere, check full length of fuel lines for any chaffing or damage where air could enter,check flexible connector pipes to tank unit and at front connector pipe also.(make sure no one has repaired pipe by joining it)pipe should be 1 piece between flex connectors!

I can't say I know for certain, but the fuel pump would be worth looking at. If it is stiff when cold it could cause the symptoms you mention, including the easier starting on a fuller tank.
