The glow plugs can be started by directly jumping them- connect a jumper
cable between the battery and terminal on the relay, and then start the
engine.
I really doubt that the starter or battery would be affected by an EMP
pulse.
My 190DT would probably lose it's idle control computer as well as
climate control and many of the gauges, but it should still run and
drive fine.

I could bypass the relay, just put a manual switch in there. The
starter might not take the voltage spike though? Would not want to
resort to hand cranking. Might have to do some rewiring to get
everything happy again.
Fuel can be stockpiled (there was a guy in the woodworkers club who
was some kind of fringe religion member, he had about 1000gal of
diesel in a tote for the Y2K apocalypse that never happened) or can be
made, or just run veggie oil.
