To add the van was laid up for 7 months on a drive way facing down hill and was low on fuel,but i didnt check the fuel before starting it, but was swinging it over on the key, would the problem maybe that i have sucked dirt up from the bottom of the tank !?

hello the diesel thats in it cud be winter diesel it will turn gunky when the warmer weather is upon us, you will need to change the fuel filter and blow the fuel lines out, the other thing it could be doing is drawing air into the fuel sysrem, check the return pipes off the injectors and pump.
