If you have access to a decent set of jumper cables and another, running vehicle, let it "jump charge" for a while, at least 1/2 hour-45 minutes. The transfer of electrons takes some time, especially through the often-flimsy connection of jumper cable clamps.

Just hook them together, let the running car run for a while while charging, and your diesel will most likely start. Hook them up, have a nice breakfast, brush your teeth, go to the bathroom, then go start your car. (Leave the two cars electrically attached through the entire charging and starting sequence).

Don't expect to jump start it immediately after hooking the jumper cable up, unless you have a VERY heavy duty set of cables and excellent connections at the clamps.

Steve.
