wont start. ran it earlier today-fine. no codes fp=18 psi

I cant get the dern thing started. if I had transportation I would try goin to town to buy some starting fluid. lol
i need help.

no codes
was running great when I pulled it in the drive 1.5 hrs ago.
battery is good shape, it will crank forever
lp sounds strong and fp reads 18 but immediately drops to 0 when the lp turns off.
unsure what to do but im gonna run the battery down if i keep cranking on it.

any help would be appreciated.

unsure what the problem was..
I finally got enough WD40 squirted in the breather to make it fire. lol
after it fired it ran smooth no probs.
since then i have started it about 5 times no problem.

I had just filled it up with diesel. might have had a bad batch of diesel. but i would think the problem would still be there.

I dont know i guess i will ignore it until the problem resurfaces.

still no codes other than the same old p1693 that i have had for about 4 years now.

If it started on wd-40 and then stayed running i would suspect you lost prime due to an air leak since you say you had fuel pressure.
