Sounds like air to me. Undo the joints on pipes at top of injectors and crank over till fuel appears put pipes back on and away you go! (Hopefully)

Well a diesel engine needs air, compression and fuel to run, but they need to happen at the right time.
You have air and compression to some degree (it tried to start on easy start).
You have fuel to the injectors, but was it pulsing from the union when the engine was turned over ? as this would show that the pump it's self is working, or do you only get fuel out when using the electric pump ?
If it is pulsing then the only thing left is cam, crank, pump timing.
