Start by checking all fuses, and then do a fuel pressure test. Having gas isn't enough, you have to have the correct PSI or the fuel injectors won't work properly.
Did you try using starting fluid?

Wow, thats odd. My wife's 2000 expedition would not start this morning. Same exact symptoms, turns over but wont start. Has a new battery, coils replaced within last 2 years, I'm working on checking fuel and spark now will let you know what I find if it can help you. She did say it happened 1 time last week and she pushed the gas pedal down quick then tried to start it again and it started right up. Been fine until today.

others have posted similar issues. Some are saying the idle air controller. Here is the link.

You might be able to correct the float reading by bending the arm. It's still a PITA as you will have to drop the fuel tank.

glad it is fixed. I would only go 1/2 tank and make sure it is fixed before you have all that fuel to move in case of another issue in the tank.
I got an aftermarket pump, and had to do it twice because I did not get it right the first time.
glad it is running
