It may be as simple as they have now put fuel in but have no idea how to bleed the system.Diesels with air dont mix

My brother ran his vivaro out of diesel and it scrapped the high pressure pump costing over £500 then a week or so later the low pressure pump failed! cant see how it could scrap the injectors unless it's sucked a load of shite into them
