Help with Diesel 2004 Toyota Revo

[russelg000]

I recently was driving towards Makati and on the SLEX, near Bicutan, without warning, the engine died. No sputtering, no shaking, it just died, I tried turning the engine on with the key 2 times, then the battery became empty. I managed to pull it over and had it towed to a near by gas station, SHELL station on the SLEX in Magallanes.
I came back as soon as I could, 1 am, with my cousin and thought if we series the battery we could start it and get it home. Well, after charging it for 20 mins, we couldn't get it started. We push started it and after several tiring attemps, it started.
We attempted to drive it home and it did it again. It died several times but we managed to get it home by 5 am, ended up using a garden hose as a make shift tow rope. It was a horrible experiance.
The following morning we got a new battery, the old one was almost 2 years old, and it started with no problem, but while driving it - it died.
2 months ago, it was in the shop because air was getting into the fuel line, causing violent shaking and loss of power, though the engine never died on me. They changed the hoses and it seemed to have fixed the problem.
Does anyone know what I should check before I take it to the shop, so that there won't be any guess work when I get there.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thank You.

It's a Toyota Revo GLX 2004 Diesel Manual Trans.

I will get them to check the fuel delivery system.

did you have the alternator checked? kasi batteries are only used by our vehicle while starting but once we are running the alternator does the job now if your alternator is not working properly your car is using the battery and eventually the battery charge gets drained and probably that is why your engine stops.
I had a client who kept on changing batteries, malayo kasi sya sa akin so dinala nya sa malapit na shop sa kanya nakadalawa syang change ng battery akala nung service center faulty lang yung nakabit nila pero finally may client had her car towed to me, buti na lang packed rat yung client, yung lumang nyang battery na galing sa akin dala nya. There was no problem with the battery, yung alternator pa la nya na mahina na.
