Diesels will not restart until all the air has been bled out of the system and that can be very difficult on some vehicles. you can get a good head start by filling the filter with fuel before installing it.

Some transports also have a hand pump to prime the engine when it has ran out of fuel.. Usally a cap you twist off and it releases a rod which you pump several times then try to restart. Your truck may or may not have this read the manual.

If it's a Sprinter you're working on, try cycling the key a bunch of times before you crank it to build pressure...
