Primed and still won't start, what next?

It's a '99 Cummins and it just died as I slowed down to park in my driveway. I figured I might be out of fuel since my gauge has been acting up lately. The fuel filter cannister fills up fine, I cracked the injectors and fuel came out, cranked it for 20 seconds and no luck. What should I do next? I'm trading this thing in Sunday, so I need it fixed pronto.
Thanks ahead of time,
Ross

Fuel leaked out of injectors or came out under pressure when you cracked a line? Sounds like a VP or LP issue.

leaked out, sounds like VP-44 huh? But my lift pump has been working, I just haven't had a fuel pressure gauge so i don't know what the pressure has been running at.
