Model : CITROËN C3 I (FC_) - 1.4 HDi (68Hp),

I have air bubbles in fuel line. That's why the car turns on hardly.
I use a manual pump to remove air from the fuel line. After I get air out from fuel line by a manual pump, my car turns on.

I change fuel lines .
I Change fuel pressure regulator.
I change fuel filter.
checked all connections .

1.How i can get zero pressure in fuel line?

2.where is fuel pressure sensor location in my car?

3.Is there any difference between fuel pressure regulator and fuel pressure sensor?

Its a Diesel. Not a Petrol.

You have air being drawn into the fuel system.

Non starters can be due to poor starter motor rotational speed, fuel pressure, immobilisation, engine ECU fault and low common rail pressure.

On the end of the common rail.

You will get zero fuel pressure if there is an ECU fault, poor starter rotational speed, immobiliser....

Yes, 2 different things that are in 2 different places. One measure the pressure generated and one regulates the pressure within specified limits.
