Default Truck won't run

So here is what happened i started my truck up this morning and it ran rough but then it smoothed out. Went 100 feet down the road and died. Cranked it over finally got it started and got it off the road. Fuel gauge was on e put in 10 gallons pushed priming bulb several times cranked it over got it to start held pedal down ran a few seconds then died. Any ideas?

I tried searching on here but I couldn't find how to do it. I loosened one of the lines on top of the injection pump pushed the priming bulb and no fuel came out also loosened the line on top of the injector and on fuel pushed priming bulb til i could hear a hissing. I clearly don't know what I'm doing.

tighten lines on inject pump.... fill the fuel filter full of fuel then put it back on. crack injections lines one at a time on injector side. once u see fuel spit out...tighten it and go onto the next one...she will start

Remove fuel heater & replace rubber lines and remove fuel filter and check sealing surface?
