So you drained the tank, changed the fuel filter and put in the additives from the dealer for when this happens? How long was it driven on gas and how much gas to diesel? It may have chaffed the tip of the injectors or burned up the glow plugs.

Here is a pic of the glow plugs and the fuel pump that is on top of the engine. We need to know weather or not it is getting fuel.
