Been a while since I played with a hilux pump but from memory there is a check valve in the pump? there certainly is a little guaze filter in the pump itself and I would check and clean that.
Is it definitely draining back to the tank? seems odd. The hand pump on top of the fuel filter is a common source of air leaks especially if over keen big strong kiwi hands pump the hell out of it....if after sitting for a while the pump is soft and takes a pump or two to firm up it shows a problem somewhere,you should be able to start by pumping up firm without bleeding usually then cranking.
To check primer pump prime up firm(just firm not as hard as you can that will fuck it) and hold firm pressure on it while you spray soapy water around the pressing containing the diaphragm.
There is also a possibilty the lift pump inside the injector pump is dieing and that may require tow starting or vigorous priming while cranking(two person job) but I would be looking for any source of air leak first starting with the primer on the fuel filter...replace that while you are at it.

thanks VC-he will be rechecking this after he corrects leak in no 3 injector.
gadget -cheeky bugga but youre wrong -ive just sent the missus car home yesterday after R drove over &dropped his off in exchange .let it be known i didnt even put a scratch on hers -so my FV(f....d vehicle)is still stationary at 3,and whats unique was all on st highway 73 .Im nothing if not consistent!!!!!!

Check that the tank is venting, a vacuum in a fuel tank, can cause all kinds of problems, correct fuel cap ?
As HD mechanic, (heavy earthmoving) fuel tank venting, has been the cause of several ongoing problems,
Fuel return check valve, or a failing fuel pump as said above.
Air in fuel supply, check all filters lines etc are sealing, piece of clear tube, just prior to the injection pump, gives good visual.
Sum cylinder heads, have a check valve in the fuel return, if common rail. If it's leaking can take the pump a bit of time to build enough pressure to overcome leakage and hold fuel pressure around the unit injectors.

He had some pace on for that turning manoeuvre...

Yup, idjit.
