A car needs three things to start: power, spark, and fuel. If it's cranking the only thing we actually know is that is has power. I could be a computer, spark, timing, or fuel issue. Guessing at the fuel pump is putting the cart in front of the horse. I would recommend paying a qualified technician to diagnose the problem. Then if you want to do the repair yourself, great! At least you will be replacing the right component. It will save you money over replacing parts you don't need by trial and error.

How do you prime a 1987 Ford F-250 diesel engine that has run out of diesel It just cranks cranks cranks.....?

I would add fuel to the tank, and then use the fuel pump relay to prime the system. Good luck. add fuel to your fuel filter and put it back on and should start. On older diesel engines dont worry about the fuel pump relay. Add clean fresh fuel to the filter and hold the pedal to the floor while cranking and it should start.(release pedal when it starts)
