Disconnect the power to your glow plugs when you are cranking while you try to bleed the injectors will all the lines cracked at the injectors themselves.

This may prevent your battery from discharging too much. You may need to recharge the battery a couple of times. Rest a few minutes between each 30-45 second cranking episode to let the starter cool down.

Tighten each injector line when fuel begins to dribble out. The # 4 injector will come online first, then # 3, #2 and finally #1.

When I checked compression (while the injectors were out for replacement with rebuilt injectors from greazzer) I lost prime on the IP. It took two and a half days and multiple battery recharges to to get my 83 300SD running again.

Your 240D ran before, it will run again.
