Welcome to TTS NJ.
Remove the intake to get the hoses properly replaced.
And Will L will warn You about using only SAE30 R9 hose.
About the only thing that the parts stores carries is R4.
Might be a good diesel shop in Your area that packs the R9 hose.

Also, a piece of clear 1/4” fuel hose, about six inches long.
Remove that black rubber hose in a sort of an upside down U from off the front of the injection pump to the return pipe/tube off the front left side of the engine. Install that clear hose in its place.
Start the engine with clear hose in place.
Watch for air bubbles, or even a foamy appearance.
If You see any of that with the enjun running there is a source of air intrusion.
Leave the clear hose in place so if ever there is any issues of rough running or hard to start, that hose will be there for a diagnostic purposes.
