l ran out of fuel and after filling up car started ok. few days l8r it wouldnt start, now having to keep bleeding it to get it to start, especially in the am, after standing overnight.seems that the fuel in the system is bleeding back to the fuel tank (?)

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

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 is your life and a repair bill is much cheaper than the alternative__

The check valve at the fuel tank is not holding.

l have a similar problem with my omega diesel. l find that if l 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. l have had it into a specialist garage and they cant fix it. Hope this helps.

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 l am afraid it is the shop for a repair

rubber at the top non-return valve at pump must be cracked or worn

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.

.damn French made crap...
