bronco 2 fuel guage
hi, new here got a fairly nice xlt 2.9 5 speed the truck sat in the barn for a year and cranked every week or so fine tried to crank it again last week and it won't start fuel guage pegged past empty put 5 gallons of gas in the tank but guage still doesn't register I can hear fuel pump kicking on for 2 seconds but no pressure, no fuel at shader valve don't even smell gas getting good spark reset inertia switch would a faulty in tank fuel pump cause guage to suddenly stop working? haven't replaced green relay or checked filter yet

Ugh, I feel for you... I'd start at the tank and work your way forward. See if you're getting pressure from tank pump before filter. Do you have a pressure gauge? If you do have pressure, move on to the next task. Could just be a faulty regulator. Don't overthink it like me, and spend $500 in parts you don't need, when it could've been something simple. If no pressure at main pump, check for voltage before swapping it.
