Did you cycle through the key on and off 4-5 times? The fuel pump needs to build the pressure back up in the new fuel filters and fuel lines. You can here the pump run when the key is turned on and you can here when the pump stops.

Welcome to FTE.

Follows is a link to a fuel filter change procedure PDF file. The above mentioned key-on / key off cycling is listed as item 6 on page 2.
