you either have a block in the filter, or the diaphragm of the FP dried out while you had it out and it's stuck in the closed position, you need to elevate it out of the tank, and tap it with a screwdriver until it primes the fuel rail.
Once it does, after a couple of start and stop cycles it should re-lube itself and be fine.
Usually recommend replacing the filter as well, anytime you open the tank.

Yes check the fuel line connection at the tank as stated above great little trick that has been played on some you can just disconnect it one little bit and she wont fire for sure.

If the fuel line is completely engaged then the next thing I would do is disconnect the other end of the fuel line where it goes into the injector block. Hold a thick rag over the end of the line and turn on the ignition switch briefly. You should get fuel coming through the line. If you do get fuel, hook the line back up and your ready to go. If you don't, then you have some blockage somewhere.
Good luck.
Good luck.

turn the ignition on let the pump run, turn off,turn on let run..do it 4-5 times, it helps presurize the lines..make sure your lines are hooked up and you have enough fuel in the tank..at least a gallon..is the fuel line hooked up inside the tank,from pump to bung?
