Sounds like the drain back valve in the pump is stuck letting the fuel drain back to the tank.

You would be looking at replacing the pump and it would not be cheep.

I know exactly what you are talking about.

I have an automatic start on my truck , but when I have to walk out and cycle the glowplugs when the truck won't start , i hear the noise you speak of.

Not sure exactly what it is , could be fuel , could be something else. I have had my truck sience 2001 , and have heard it sience then with no issues I am aware of.

Ummm, I don't think it's a problem. Even if you start at zero fuel pressure it only take a few seconds to build up to full pressure, and you're still waiting on the WTS light to go out. The fuel pump is running the whole time and you have full fuel pressure.
