01 2.0tddi - no fuel in filter - mongoose
Hi all new to this forum stuff but hope someone can help.

Could anyone give me some advice as i dont want to spend money on parts if im not sure it will correct my problem.
Ive got a 51 reg 2.0 tddi mondeo estate, the other day while driving it started to splutter and throw out loads of smoke and finaly cut out and would not start again,i had the car towed home and was told it may be fuel filter blocked and may needed changing ,so went bought new filter took old filter off and noticed there was no fuel in it,so before i put the new filter on i filled it with diesel connected everything back up and it started straight away i left it running for 10 mins then i cut out and would not restart so i disconnected the filter again and once more no fuel in it.Could it be the lift pump under the car near the fuel tank and also is there a relay that runs the pump.I know there not cheap is there any way of testing to see if it is the pump.

I WOULD BE MOST GREATFUL FOR ANY HELP
Thanks Leigh
