Removethe cap from the fuel filter housing and fill with clean diesel. Then crank engine until it starts. You can also aid by pressurizing the fuel tank with compressed air but you have to watch not to over pressurize the tank or it will spill out of the filler neck. Its hard to believe that international does not use a priming pump to aid in start up after maintenance when their competitors Isuzu and cummins do. However the powerstroke does use a lift pump but usually takes a while to prime. This way is quicker.
