There is a minor leak in the fuel delivery line between the fuel pump and tank which allows air to get into the system.

Check for signs of diesel fuel stain, especially at hose joints. Sometimes such leaks are not noticeable and one way of testing is to install an electrical pump between the lines to pressurise the hoses to check for leaks.
