You could call LRA to do it, but be prepared for the taking from the chap who comes out.

up and running how
air in system
if you remove the top plastic engine cover near to the back if the engine in the middle you will see a valve cap like the ones on your wheels.
remove the cap turn the key to red lights on and the fuel pump will run then push down on the valve like letting air out of your tyres and let the air out the fuel system and away it starts
you need to use a lot of paper so the fuel and air mixe does not go every were

perhaps one for the wikiNine-tenths of wisdom is being wise in time.
OT - Borrowed a mates Diesel Mondeo and ran out of fuel on the M6
Once filled up, I just turmed it over and over and over
Eventually it fired and ran like a race car for about 30 seconds while the mixture sorted itself out. No long term damage known as he wrote it off the very next day on the otherside of the M6 "To finish first, one first has to finish ...."

Reading this post I went and tried something.
I went to the tire bay and got a valve extension as used on the inner
wheels of a duel wheel set up on trucks. There are two types, one
which will open the inner valve as you screw it in and the other does not.
Took to one which opens the valve, screwed it onto the bleed valve
in the engine bay, fitted a length of pipe on it, turned ignition on,
and the diesel came running out
This will go into my off road kit.
NB: Remember to remove the valve core in the valve extension
It got me first up
