If the fuel system has a leak it would be leaking fuel. There should not be air in the fuel system unless the fuel tank is empty.
If you got a code saying that, Your car might have a loose gas cap, the test pump is bad, fuel sending unit gasket or a problem with the tank vent valve(depending on make/model). Car now a days have to have an EVAP system to check that the fuel system isn't leaking fuel vapor into leaking fumes(HCs) into the atmosphere.
I would remove/reinstall the gas cap and clear the fault and rerun the test. If it still is showing a code. Again depending on make/model, there might be a pump self test in the scan tool or you would need a smoke machine to find the leak.

Does not releasing air pressure affect 1 fuel line on a diesel motor Front LoadersCATs980930966?
if you have air in the fuel system on a diesel, yes you will have a problem there is a bleeder to release air from the system if system repeatedly gets air in it, you have a leak somewhere that needs to be found and fixed
Your 2000 daewoo laganza says system to lean what does that mean bank 1?
Essentially this means the engine is running with too little fuel and too much air. Usually, this turns out to be an air leak.
What is a vac leak?
This could be short for a vacuum leak in, say, a vehicle's fuel/air mixture inlet system or in the braking system of a train or a truck that uses vacuum-operated brakes.
Why would 1995 Beretta leak fuel into air filter assembly?
A broke fuel line can cause a 1995 Beretta to leak fuel into air filter assembly. An exhaust leak can also cause this issue.
Air in fuel line?
If air is present in the fuel line, it can cause a number of issues with the vehicle's performance. The most common symptoms of air in the fuel line include: Difficulty starting the engine Rough idling Stalling Misfiring Decreased fuel efficiencyAir can enter the fuel system through a number of ways, such as a damaged fuel line, a cracked fuel tank, or a faulty fuel pump. To diagnose the issue, a pressure test should be performed to identify the source of the air leak. Once the source of the leak is identified, it should be repaired and the fuel system should be bled to get rid of the air in the fuel line.
Cold start and air in fuel in 2003 dodge sprinter diesel?
You have a low side fuel system leak. Normal causes are the o-rings on the lines and fittings at the fuel filter.
What are the causes of surging?
Engine surging is usually due to insufficient fuel supply. Probable causes could be an air leak in the fuel system, or possibly a dirty fuel filter, causing fuel restriction.
What does lean bank 1 mean?
Essentially this means the engine is running with too much air and not enough fuel. This typically turns out to be an air leak.
What causes exhaust smoke to come out but the engine takes time to start on komatsu excavator?
The injection system has a tiny air leak that causes the system to not work correctly until the air is purged from the injectors. Look for a tiny fuel leak near and injector or an increase in engine oil level that will show fuel contamination in the oil
Why would a 1993 Ford E350 keep stalling when warmed up?
might be a clogged fuel filter or some kind of leak in your fuel lines allowing air in the system.
Why does your diesel engine race by its self?
usually there is a fuel leak internally however it can also be an air leak
What does diagnostic trouble code P0171 mean on a 2002 KIA Sportage?
Fuel system too lean (Bank 1)Basically the ECU is detecting the engine is running too lean, so it compensates by injecting more fuel. This lean condition could be caused by low fuel pressure/faulty fuel system, a leak in the intake system, or a bad oxygen sensor.Check fuel system pressure. It should read around 38 PSI with vacuum hose connected, 46 PSI disconnected.Check for leaks in the intake system. A leak allows unmetered air to enter the system, causing a lean condition.Check the mass air flow sensor (MAFS)Check the throttle position sensor (TPS)Check the oxygen sensor
