ok take the upper filter off and cycle the key 2-3 times. waiting aprox 30 seconds between cycles. note this may make a mess with fuel on the engine and ground if it floods the bowl.
this may also sound stuipid but.... are yoy sure the sending unit in the tank is accuratly showing you have fuel in it? try adding a few gallons from a can.... been down this road before too.

I can blow through both lines on tank side and the line with the arrow pointing towards engine,all of this started when i changed my filters, maybe i created a leak some how on the hfcm ....not sure how to test for leaks though. I can not blow air through the lin returning from engine but was unsure as to whether i should hav been able to
