I've bleed the fuel system without benefit. New fuel filters about a month ago.

Engine has good compression, and the glow plugs work (new) It seems like it's not getting fuel.

Any input would be appreciated. I kind of need this car to be running soon.
Feed it off a soda bottle filled with diesel in the engine compartment. If it runs ok then, youknow the problem is upstream in the fuel system.
