Way advanced timing ?

Kidding aside, i'm guessing you clogged a filter or screwed up your lift pump :P

do you still have the "biofuel" in it or have you run multiple tanks of diesel in it afterwards ?

i had a filter clog up on WVO, i was advised to use run Kerosene through my system so it would clean up...

I say start it up and crack one injector at a time. Sounds like air in the system. Or the bio fuel may have gummed up your lift pump not allowing proper fuel flow.

check your overflow valve. and if you still have a fuel heater it can make you loose prime if its burned up. but first follow the air bleed procedure. especially the supply side of the injection pump. my OV was letting off at 10psi and the diesel guy said the injection pump could run ahead of the transfer pump by sending fuel to the tank before the TP could build pressure. Runs great now but have a leak on the injectors. black smoke at every gear change and fuel leaking down the block and itty bitty bubbles withfuel coming from injector socket #3
