Do you still have the original water separator hooked up? It's a common problem for the water separator to loose it's seal and suck air.
On the injection pump the fuel shut off should have an audible click when you turn the key on and off.

I would certainly check the fuel connections at the tank you have selected......
If you disconnect the tank selected at the FSV you should get fuel spillage confirming fuel is available.
If you have never changed the tank over and always used just one, could someone else have changed it recently and the FSV is stuck??
Auto parts stores have repair pieces if you want to remove the FSV from the loop and just go straight to and from the tank
