Could be an air leak and the fuel is feeding back to the tank .

It could be a number of things. Have you tried easy start.it could be a faulty injector,an air leak, poor compression etc.once running does it run ok?

The car runs fine when stated think the problem may be with the pre heat cos if l let the glow plugs work 3 times its a lot better
