7.3 psd no start

I was warming up my truck this morning when it died. I tried to restart it it ran for a second and died again then it wouldn't start at all. There are no blown fuses and it has fuel in the bowl. There is oil about 2/3 the way up in the HPOP res. I'm not sure how much oil and what type should be in there and do I fill the res. or is that just to see if the pump is working and it to late once it's low type of thing.I tried spraying wd-40 in it and it still wouldn/t start. This is the fourth breakdown in 8 days unbelievable. This is my first diesel and I only know what I've read on this forum. Thanks to everyone by the way this is a great site.

The HPOP runs off the same oil as the engine. Check your engine oil level first. Try not using starting fluid...

The truck is a 97 F350 4x4 crew cab. This seems to be a new problem. I replaced the fuel pump that was the first problem then I had a short that I created when replacing the pump. I figured that out and the next problem was a clogged fuel filter. I can see these are related problems especially the short I created. I'm not sure if that has anything to do with todays problem.
