Renault Kangoo intermitant air in fuel

Car: Renault Kangoo
Variant: 1.5dci
Model Year: 2003
Categories: Leaks & Noises
I posted a question a few days back titled "Air in fuel" i have replaced the fuel filter it is a sealed unit, there is air in the return pipe occasionaly when the engine is reved i am ashured this is normal by my renault deler ship, the car has run down to near empty and the car has not conked out which it did last time, I keep a carefull eye on themilage and it usaul does 480 to a tank full sometimes air appears in the fuel feed line ( direct from tank) at around 400 this is when it conks out. Bit of a mistery. Have tried some fuel cleaner, there is no water in fuel( have blead filter) no apparent leakges from around the small pipes flowing away from the injectors, I may try cleaning out the tank, I don't know if this will help??? Any ideas, thank you for the two answers I recieved on my last posting.

hello there you say the dealers come up with nothing wrong so all i can suggest is that you dont run the fuel down so low just as a test and see what happens if the vehicle still cuts out then there is still a problem some where but if it doesnt then we have solved it by not running the fuel so low

Hello
I have air in fuel pipe between pump to primer bulb ( bulb filter pipes all ok).
I was told there could be some problem with the fuel pump making a vacuum and pulling air from some-ware.Is there some kind of valve in pump or fuel tank preventing the fuel to return to tank ?
please help
