Did you run it on gas? Gas in a diesel engine is not an uncommon error. Normally it does not cause long term harm.

Is your current problem that you need to prime the fuel pump?

I did the same thing, Drain & change every filter. Blead out injector lines. It will be fine.

Most will not run on gas. the gas wont pass through the injectors.

there should be a push pump and a bleeder screw on the filter housing .Open the bleeder screw and push pump plunger until all the air bubbles come out. then screw the bleeder screw back in .You should be in bussiness
