Did you change the fuel filter? if so you need to loosen the nut on the top of the filter housing 10mm I think, then lift the arm up and down on the lift pump to prime it, it's some times an idea to fill the filter full of fuel before fitting.

You could have pulled off the lead that opens/shuts the fuel supply off.
At the back of the fuel pump you should find a single wire with one connector. If this is not connected then no fuel will get through.

Sent you a PM Paul, sorry for the delay. Just read this so you can ignore most of it.
