help 97 won't start

[Sootgrinder15]

Hello Folks,
I am not a Powerstroke mechanic but I have to fix one. I hope you experts can give me some help. My buddy called me to come get him because his truck just stopped and won't restart. I tow it to my garage and here is what I have found.
-1997 f250 powerstroke 120K miles 5 speed
-Engine cranked over but no fire at all
- no check engine light
-I looked in the fuse box and found a 30A fuse blown, can't remember the number but it powers the fuel filter heater and glow plugs. I tried refusing it but it blew again, so I unplug the filter heater connection and refuse it, no more blown fuses and the glow plugs work good again.
-still no fire
-I checked the fuel pressure at the schrader valve while cranking, I get about 45 lbs or a little more, it is hard to do by yourself.
- I decide that it is probably a Cam Position sensor, so I get a new one and swap it out, no change, still won't start.
-I check the oil level in the high presure reservoir- it looks about half full so I fill it up. No change
_ checked the engine oil level, it was a little low so I topped it off, still won't start.

I am out of ideas, what do you guys think? By the way I don't have access to a scanner. Also please remember that I am a Cummins guy and I am not up with the lingo that you guys use on these 'Strokers so please spell it out for me. I really want this thing out of my garage so I would really appreciate any help you folks can provide.

Soot

check all the filters? fuel filters and oil filters and such

Check the oil filter ontop of the engine to see if it has fuel in it. Fuel pump may be out. If its a 97 it should have 2 tanks, swtich tanks and tirn ignition to on and wait a few mins for the fuel pump to pump fuel into the line, and crank for a few seconds, if nothing just wait a minute or two and try again. If nothing, not sure about it! sorry
