my advice would be buy some new fuel pipe (clear if poss) then from tank to low pressure pump replace the from there to filter then you'll be able to see where abouts its getting air the low pressure pump could be at fault or basically theres a small pin hole letting in air but not letting diesel out hope this helps i've done this on many vehicles before not iveco's but basically the same

Taken from the 'fix it fast' sticky post, your symptoms are classic low pressure pump failure:

(c) Van stalls shortly after starting, or stalls when the throttle is pressed. Restarting causes van to stall instantly. Bubbles visible in translucent fuel lines after engine stops. Solution: On 2.3l (and 3.0l?) engines, locate lift pump on chassis rail near fuel tank. For a few seconds after the ignition is turned on, and whilst the engine is running, the pump should be humming. If not, give the pump a sharp tap whilst the engine is being cranked or is running, if the pump starts working the engine should start, but the pump will need to be replaced. An easy job as the fuel lines are quick disconnect, but you'll get diesel all down your arms!
