Truck will not fire, starter cranks away but seems like no gas is making it to the engine. I'm still in disbelief that the Tundra broke down with 608 miles on it!

So I call Toyota Roadside assistance, truck hauled 50 miles to nearest Toyota dealer, after pleading with them that I'll have no transport dealer arranges to give me a rental Scion to me for use; so we arrive at dealer well past closing Dealer gives me owner's dad cell number to call so I can fill out rental agreement. This is at 9 pm on Saturday night.

Truck is 120 miles away from my house and still waiting for a call to see what the problem is; I'm guessing fuel system (specficly fuel pump). Does anybody have any thoughts? Can I ask for the gas money to fill up the scion they gave me empty? Don't know if Dealer will have me drive all the way back down to pick up or if they'll meet half way. Will keep forum posted
Could be any number of things but maybe just a blown fuel pump fuse. I disabled my truck the other day by removing the fuel pump fuse. The truck cranks but no start. I also noticed that it will kinda keep cranking on it's own like the computer is trying over ride something.
