If the filter is leaking, air would get into the system resulting in non starting.

Check and ensure there are no leaks and prime the system using the hand primer. Loosen the nozzle pipes near the injectors and crank the engine until fuel comes out. Re-tighten the nozzle and try starting. You would need a strong battery as it might take some time for it to start.
