So I have seen many threads about this on the forum, though can't see the specific problem I am facing mentioned.
I was driving in town up a bit of a hill at about 50kph, and the engine stopped.
I had just under half a tank of fuel left from a full main tank put in prior to a round trip to Mudgee of 400+km a few days ago (I guess I am confident the fuel was reasonably good).
I tried restarting, and it did briefly before stopping once more.
A mate got it to fire up using some CO Cleaner though it would not get going again on Diesel.
The NRMA guy that responded, after trying his bottle of butane into the top of the intercooler (I kid not) changed his approach and we got it going the same on butane. still not wanting to run on diesel.
Eventually had it towed home.
Since then, have disconnected the battery overnight, and put it on charge. (Battery tested at 81% prior to overnight charge using mates tester).
Swapped the High Pressure pump relay (brown one under the dash) with the AC relay from under the bonnet - thanks forum users!
Swapped the Ignition Relay from under the dash with one from under the bonnet - as above!
Disconnected the outlet from the primer pump on top of the filter housing and am able to pump diesel out no worries.
Disconnected the return line from the high pressure (injector pump) and cranked over getting diesel from the return.
Disconnected an injector line from the back of the pump and cranked engine - get no diesel coming out at all.
Other things that might be nothing:
Primer pump will get hard after pumping about half a dozen times, but does then lose pressure after a while even if nothing else is done under bonnet.
The security light for NATS doesn't stay on while cranking. It flashes as normal when the car is locked, and stops flashing when the ignition is on.
This afternoon I am hoping to get a scan tool onto it and check for codes which might help.
In the meantime, any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
I have the same issue but already put Gscan on it and no codes, can start on aerostat but willl not keep running on diesel.
have changed pressure relief on fuel rail, next step is pump or injectors

I had a 0706 code and a another one for the crank angle sensor (0407 possibly - cannot remember exactly).
Following the 0706 code through the shop manual troubleshooting process, it ends up at "Replace Injector Pump"
This one is not common rail, so slightly different to yours I suspect.
If it was a 4.2 I'd say try the nats delete but I'm assuming the 3.0 is a totally different beast.
I did read a few posts about NATS, and was hopeful I would see a code for that when we scanned.
No such luck. And I believe you are right, cannot bypass NATS on a 3.0L

By pass the fuel filter using an inline Z14 type filter instead. This will rule out the filter head being knackered. Which does happen on these. Remove the air flow meter and clean it or better, swap it out from another working vehicle.
