[The President]

Andrew a quick test for fuel is to loosen fuel line to an injector (injector 
end) coverinjector with tissue to catch some diesel  Crank engine over and 
check for diesel pulse. Nothing showing then it is your fuel solenoid. 
[Remove and remove valve replace fire up and stall with clutch ]or just 
tickle with a live wire to check for solenoid 'clunk'..
