It sounds like you do have some fuel at the injectors which is good. Now all you need is heat of compression and some air. Make sure there are no restrictions in the intake. When you crank are you getting white smoke out the exhaust? If so then that is unburnt fuel because there is not enough heat of compression. Are the glow plugs working? If they are not working that may be the problem. I believe that engine is a Yanmar and has 3 glow plugs. If glow plugs are inop and you are positive they are not working you may try a very slight shot of ether but be warned that ether can be very dangerous ESPECIALLY if the glow plugs are working. If you need help troubleshooting glow plugs let us know.
