Al-

I think there should be a bleed fitting on the injectors that you can 
open to atmospheric pressure and then turn the engine over until fuel 
starts coming out. I am not sure about this. I know that diesels pump 
fuel to the injectors and then via a return line back to the tank (not 
all fuel is injected). It sounds counterintuitive, but there is a good 
reason for it (which I can't remember right at the moment). Anyway, look 
at the fuel injectors and see if there is a nut you can loosen that will 
open the fuel system to atmospheric pressure at the injector. Then crank 
the engine till fuel starts coming out of the injectors, then close that 
nut, then try again.

Somebody with a diesel probably knows this procedure better than me...
