Fuel Problems J8S 2.1TD with Bosch VE pump

Hi one and all.
Further to a recent post I'm having fuel supply problems on my J8S 2.1TD.
I found sediment and rust in the fuel tank and main filter.
The fuel tank has been changed, fuel lines blown through and new tank filter and fuel filter installed.
When I start the engine it starts straight away and will idle smoothly all day.
As soon as I press the accelerator the engine starts to run rough and eventually dies.
If I press the accelerator just once after starting and idling, the engine does not recover to smooth idling.
I've checked the fuel cut off valve and that's OK
I have new injectors which I haven't fitted yet.
Could it be the KSB?
Any other ideas?
I would appreciate anybody's thoughts
Many thanks

Doesn't sound like an air leak as the symptoms for this are difficult starting and loss of max power. You are right when you say there won't be any drips of diesel even with a leak because its the vac on the fuel pipe that pulls the air in.
You could try pumping with the bulb to see if anything changes and/or run the engine from a can of diesel
