Opel Vivaro engine shuts down after starting

I own a 2007 Opel Vivaro with a diesel engine and 480000 km on the odometer. The vehicle starts briefly and then shuts off again. The engine dies after starting, but after pumping with a manual fuel pump, the engine starts normally. Where could there be a leak point where air is getting into the fuel system?

(Translated from Finnish)

The Opel Vivaro engine starts briefly and then shuts off, but operates normally after using a manual fuel pump. This suggests a potential air leak in the fuel system. Possible causes include cracks or loose fittings in the fuel lines, particularly around the fuel filter and injectors. Checking these areas for visible damage or looseness is recommended to resolve the issue.

Check the fuel lines and connections for any visible cracks or loose fittings, especially around the fuel filter and injectors. Air can enter through these areas, causing the issue. Let me know if you find anything or need further assistance.
