I would look hard at the fuel filter. I( experienced a similar prob 2 years ago after two hours on the side of the road with a tow truck jumping it to get it started i had it towed and turned out to be a messed up fuel filter. The Driver insisted I was out of Diesel... lol I showed him I had a 1/4 tank so much for my roadside assistance plan

it will not pull any codes. and i have just had the transmission rebuilt but it ran fine for about 30 miles since ive had it.

start at inlet of fuel filter and see where u loose the fuel. or even better start at the tank. if you have no codes the u simply lost the fuel. start cracking lines. suction tube in tank break? line sucking air? u got pressure? how much? my 2 cents anyway!
good luck!
