Lil’Bus cranks but wont start ... :’(

Hiiiiiiiigh all !!

We’ve been roaming around the coast quite a bit with out problems.

After warming up the engine for 5 minutes yesterday, the engine stoped suddenly running without making any weird noise.

Wasn't quite at ideal temp yet, but still had some heat from our ride a hour-ish earlier.

Added 2 quarts of oil this morning. No change. Only drove 1500 miles since last oil change.

Still cranking, wont fire. Kinda sounds like the batteries would be low, but they are fine. My good jumper pack wont change anything.

Does some one has a clue why the engine would stall out of no where after just idling for 5 minutes. And not start back.

0 DTC ; brand new glowplugs ; new CPSensor ; 1500 miles on fuel filter

:’(

Thank you all for any attention

Edit: Lil’Bus is 7.3 from 2002 (160k miles)

Fuel quality problems have been an issue as of late. Try some Diesel 911.

Also, cranking speed is critical with a diesel, as are fuel quality and pressure (not just presence).
