starved diesel

[W140 S600]

I have just finished some common maintence on my 98 E300d, air filter, oil fitler, fuel filter, and prefilter change. I went to start my car, and it ran for a couple of seconds and died. I realized that i forgot to fill up the fuel filter with diesel, so I took out the filter and filled it up, and put it back. I starved my engine of diesel and it just won't start. Any help would be greatly appreciated!!!
