newer diesels cycle key on and of leaving on for about 20-30sec. a few times then just keep cranking but no more that about 30sec. crank time to keep from burning up starter. older diesel you may have a hand pump or have to crack an injector line while cranking to bleed air out.

You need to prime a diesel.... Try to fill the filter with fuel if possible... There should also be a prime pump somewhere on the fuel system to get the fuel to the engine.

Why does not diesel not start after ran out of diesel?
A diesel engine uses a high pressure fuel system,which means that it can't have air in it,it's kinda like the hydraulic brake system,if their is air in it,it won't work right. when you run a diesel out of fuel,it sucks in a bunch of air,which must be bled out of the system,in order for it to re-prime its self. if you don't get the air out,then,the diesel fuel will only travel up so far into the fuel line,until it is stopped by air,that's why a diesel is so hard to start after you run them outta fuel.
How do you prime a 1987 Ford F-250 diesel engine that has run out of diesel It just cranks cranks cranks.....?
I would add fuel to the tank, and then use the fuel pump relay to prime the system. Good luck. add fuel to your fuel filter and put it back on and should start. On older diesel engines dont worry about the fuel pump relay. Add clean fresh fuel to the filter and hold the pedal to the floor while cranking and it should start.(release pedal when it starts)
