On top of all the other suggestions here, you need to look at the injector pump. I don't know what kind of pump it uses, but there are usually one or more bleeder ports on the pump. If you can get the fuel up that far, you may not have to bleed it all the way to the injectors. My father runs his out regularly and I have to bleed it for him... I never open the filters, just fill it back up and bleed the air out at the bleeder ports on the injector pumps. The only real trick (once you find the ports) is that sometimes you have to turn the motor over to just the right place for the little pump handle to work on the fuel pump. If you pump it and it doesn't feel like it's doing anything (ie: you don't feel any resistance) try turning the engine a little to see if you can get it to pump better. If not, just crank the engine while you're opening the bleeder ports. Also, keep a wrench on the bleeders. When you stop cranking (or pumping), close them immediately to keep from sucking in more air. If none of this works, you'll have to bleed the injectors either at the pump or at the injector. You can usually get by with just bleeding them at the injector pump so you don't have to break the lines loose at the injector. Good luck, stay warm!
