I have a similar problem with my omega diesel. I find that if I keep the tank over one third full, it starts no problem...below that and it takes forever to pump the diesel from the tank to the engine. I have had it into a specialist garage and they cant fix it. Hope this helps.

You can actually use the primer bulb to teat this,
unhook the line from primer to fuel line,
now plug the pipe then squeeze the bulb a few times,if it stays squeezed/collapsed the primer bulb is good .
re-connect and unhook the line back at the next connector towards the tank and repeat.
and so on,
each time the bulb has to stay collapsed,
when it doesn't and begins to inflate then you've found the leak,
doesn't take a lot,tiny leaks let air into the line and collapse the vacuum in the line meaning you have to go through the bleed process.
oh and if this doesn't find a leak it's between the primer bulb and the injection pipe.

You have air in the system and need to bleed it, running out of fuel with a diesel is worse than for a petrol engine.
Your glow plugs may need warming more than once also. The orange light on the ignition. I've got a 405 diesel, it is very laboured starting at the moment. Hopefully you have a good battery.

If you have to keep bleeding it out then the system is obviously getting air in it
If it has a manual primer pump on the filter head it is possible that this is where the fault lies. The rubber diaphragm becomes perished and allows air to get into the filter when standing idle normally over night. If not then I'm afraid it's the shop for a repair

Your system is taking in air check the small rubber pipes around the fuel filter I had the same trouble very cheap to put right

The check valve at the fuel tank is not holding.

Take the car to the dealer and quit messing around you are going to get out on the freeway and get stalled and crashed...it's your life and a repair bill is much cheaper than the alternative__
