85 300D Wont start

I forgot to fill up the new fuel filter with diesel before installing. I realized my mistake after cranking the engine a few times with no engine start. I took the filter off and filled it up with diesel fuel and reinstalled. I still cannot get the car started, if the car does fire it only runs for a second or two then dies.

My car was running fine just before the filter change. I have not refueled recently. I have a WVO kit installed but have been running on diesel for the past week due to lack of WVO.

Is there a way to check for air in the fuel line?

Does anyone have any suggestions on getting my car to start?
