Is airlocked methinks. They take ages cranking to bring the diesel back up. Fill fuel filter housing with diesel & open a nut onto one injector. Crank until fuel appears @ injector & retighten. You may have to tow it if battery dies. Be warned though. Cranking engine with no fuel in pump can kill it as fuel lubricates it.
