05 5.4 no start

I have 05 F150 xlt 5.4. problem started with fuel /alt guage. drove truck into my garage to check for a pal of mine. Went to start to check things over and no start. checked fuses, inertia swith, replaced fpdm, checked wires on frame under drivers side, got a new pump, took out old pump and it seems ok. Any ideas. No codes.

If it will run with starting fluid ^^^ , that shows a fuel issue . Not enough pressure , bad fuel , ect . I just towed a 95 F150 yesterday . It had a 1/2 tank of H2o ! Guy says he drove it home and had a no start the next morning after buying fuel ! I find that hard to believe , but , he is a regular customer .??? Maybe the punks next door put water in his tank ?
