Back flush

Hi,
Had a similar problem, my 87 300D turbo would not start after three months jacked up in the front. I removed the return line from the secondary filter housing and the supply line. Jammed some compressed air into the return, heard gurgling in the tank and then a gush of fuel from the supply. Stopped the flow with my finger, reattached both hose and the car starred immediately. Did this after numerous starting attempts with block heater all night and fully charged battery etc. Glow plugs checked out before I did this. Easy fix, try it.
Ted
