I think your guess about the no fuel thing is right. I don't know about vehicles much but if you have a bad primer bulb for your outboard you get the same problem lol I know, I'm not much help.

Probably the fuel supply pump. Lot of CRD's add a Cummins pump at the fuel tank. Will find details at Lostjeeps.com
