No start issue

Just a question if anyone else has had this happen.
went on a trip and parked the truck. came out in a hour or so and it cranked and cranked but would not fire. tried to wd-40 start no go. then disconnectred batts and reset obc and it fired on second try. Had good fuel pressure the whole time.
Thanks

PS we only have about 1000 on a new VP-44 and Fass.

have had 6 or 7 starts since.

Least breaking down with a camper you can wait it out you know what else you might check is connections on the pump or starter or any thing that might have came loose or is not properly grounded from corrosion from salt.
