My Nissan Terrano won't start after an accident - any ideas?

I crashed my Nissan Terrano 2.7TD 1999 model and now it won't start. It's got fuel at the filter, got good battery power, it's not immobilised and I can't find a fuel cut-off switch. It just won't start. I tried a drop of 'Easystart', which it will run on until it gone - has anyone had a similar problem after a accident?

If there is fuel at the filter then that's past the point of the fuel cut off switch anyway. Could be a small air leak into the fuel delivery system somewhere, or it could be a failed fuel tank sender pump not sending fuel through to the filter and injection pump at sufficient pressure.
