my car won't start

At first, I thought I ran out of diesel, and I'm still not sure that that's not what happened. I was actually on my way to get a fillup, as I was running very low, and then the car kinda starts shaking a little, and while I was at a stop light, it died. It never died before. I tried starting it a couple of times, and it just won't fire the engine.

So I went and got 2 gallons of diesel in canister, put it in the gas tank, and the car still won't start. I tried turning it over maybe a dozen times. I tried holding the key turned for like a minute. I tried pumping the gas. I tried both. I tried putting diesel directly into the injector in case it needed some to start firing. Nothing worked.

At times, it seems like it would just almost get really close to starting to fire, but it just doesn't do it. Do you guys have any suggestions?
