Hi there, my friend has put petrol in his diesel astra, we have drained the tank and refilled with diesel. Changed the fuel filter and added a fuel cleaner/additive. He has blown through the disconnected fuel pipes with an airline now im suspecting air in the pump. The car will not start at all.I have cracked all the injectors together and one by one and there is no fuel present at all. Could you please guide me from here. Regards steve

The immoboliser cut's fuel pump function .. reset by locking and unlocking the doors .. if this does not work and the light on the dash is flashing you will need it reseting via diagnostic computer ...

hope this helps
