Is this a 24 or 12 valve cummins? If a 24 then you need a seperate pump for the veggie and leave your stock pump for diesel only.

Try this quick test leave your switch on Diesel and disconnect the main supply line to the injection pump and crank the engine over untill you get fuel then tighten the fuel line down again If it still wont start crack all the injector lines and turn engine over untill the lines are leaking fuel. THen re-tighten the lines and fire it up. After you are running on Diesel for a while then try the veg system and do the same thing.
