Starting problem

I have a 86 ford 350 diesel box van, the rear fuel tank went bad so I took it out and disconnected the fuel lines to the rear tank from the switch (where the lines split front and back). The tank got fixed so we put it back in and now it doesn't run....any Ideas??
Thanks

Did you make sure you purged the air from the lines before trying to use that tank again?

The pump should be able to pull the fuel through there.

If it was undone for a while I might suspect mud wasps or the sort.

Could simply be that you didn't get the line coupled back right. They go together like a female dog.
