Fuel problems


So I've had a problem with "air in the lines or water" as I tried to jimmy rig or fix the fuel supply line I believe that's what it is I'm not sure it's a steel hard line that runs from the fuel filter to the injector pump I've called everywhere even salvage yards where can I find it how do I fix this I have a 85 Ford F-250 6.9 turbo diesel please help me I know this is the culprit because I can watch it leak I changed all the hoses and clamps brand new

You could replace it with rubber fuel line.

Type4 on here has return line kits that include those and are reasonably priced. If the olives are bad, chances are the return lines are shot too.
