You have a bad fuel pump or possibly the FP regulator.
The regulator is operated electrically, but I would suspect the fuel pump.
Do not try any type of starting fluid on a diesel.
If equipped with an injector pump, I would get this fixed soon, because running the injector pump dry will cause it to fail and as you probably know, they are not cheap.
