Won't start now

My brother brought his 1997 F-250 7.3 Diesel truck over because it was leaking fuel somewhere. We replaced all the rubber fuel hose put it all back together started it up and noticed it was still leaking on the ground so we pulled it all apart again and this time he broke the big terminal on the glow plug relay taking it off. The temp here is 85 now it won't start. I was wondering do you need the relay to be working right to start when it is not cold ?

I don't think that should be an issue. What all did he replace? What hoses? Is the fuel bowl filling up with fuel? Also, it may take a little while for the fuel to finish draining out of the vally once the leak is fixed. A picutre is worth a 1000 words
