Does anyone have any ideas?

the fuel primer pump on top of the fuel filter is knackered,common fault caused by engine vibration,why ford put it there is a mystery

Mar 2011 at 00:02 it normally has a black plunger on the top of it,if your's doesn't you still have an airleak somewhere which is allowing fuel to run back to the tank when pointing uphill,have a look at the injector leak off pipes to see if any are leaking or have gone hard
