are the bubbles flowing through while the truck is stationary?? when its moving and you come to a stop there can be some bubbles in the lines,, but if there are bubbles going through while the truck is stationary for awhile then u might have to do something about it

are you having any engine probs like overheating and stuff,, if you ant having any then I dont think that its going to be a problem

Check the o-ring on the tank lid. It should be round w/o any nicks or cuts and form a tight seal when it's shut.

test your tank for an an air leak place it in a bucket of water and hold the pressure line with your finger and blow thought the gas line and watch what happens. in the tank i see there is a little tube that sucks the fuel in, try to have a look at it remove the lid completely so u don't brake the cap.

also check the fuel line for rips, remove it form tank and filter, stretch it as much as u can and hold both holes with you fingers and place it in water if it gets water inside get a new one
