Thanks again guys. Going to crack the lines and see if i can get fuel. I will say, when i turn the engine over, or pump the primer pump, i can see fuel being pulled in, along with fuel returning back into my makeshift tank. Even though fuel is making it all the way through the system, could i still have air in the system?

So today i manually hooked up the glow plugs to the battery. All four of them were hot (let it sit for about a minute) Turned the key- nothing. Still just turning over. Not the slightest sign of firing. I even sprayed WD 40 in the intake- still absolutely nothing. Not even trying to fire. and it has warmed up to like 50+ degrees.

Im stumped. I can watch fuel coming back out of the return line into my bottle, i dont see any serious leaks (other than one leaky fuel return line, only noticed when pumping the primer). Primer pump actually looks better than my 300d primer pump.
