I can tell you if you just replaced the fuel filter with out priming it (filling it with diesel) the car won't start.  Can
you give more info?

Was working fine. Sat at the airport for a few days. When my wife returned from a trip the car would'nt start. It acts like it
has no fuel.

I'd get your glow plugs checked,  you also might have low compression.
