Try removing an injector and connecting to the pipe again, it should spray a fine mist when cranking just to prove it can get enough pressure.... KEEP AWAY from it as it can penetrate skin.
Done. Post 15Is it possible to rig temporary fuel tank,5 litre plastic container, with some pipe to see if it is problem with fuel or tank.
You could well be on to something there. Have a Tm120 here that needs a new float in the fuel tank. Get down anywhere near half a tank of fuel and its pot luck as to whether it starts. If it fails to start it can be a real pig of a thing to get going again. Often have to crack off a couple of injectors and hope.Could be the pipe that goes down into the bottom of the tank,common fault they crack and allow the fuel to drain back and airlock the system,they can be buggers to bleed!
Our 155 did that as well. couldn't leave it any length of time with an empty fuel tank.You could well be on to something there. Have a Tm120 here that needs a new float in the fuel tank.

I'm sorry I must have misunderstood my husband when he was telling me.. It was a line that goes to the thermostat (which is beside the turbo). Since we do have fuel going everywhere it needs to be going, we are assuming that its electrical or a sensor somewhere that is not allowing the engine to start. Was just curious if anyone else has had this problem or any similar problems
I had a tm that wouldn't start and it was sending diesel up to the injectors but wouldn't start, I stripped the pump and found one of the coil springs that pressurised the distributed head in place had broken ,it wasn't a big job to fixI have the same problem do you find a solve
If there is white smoke go looking for an injection pump timing issue.
