Yes. You need to turn the key to the On position. You will hear the lift pump clicking as it pressureizes the fuel lines and refills your canister. When it stops clicking, "bump" the key enough to turn the starter but not to start the truck. This will cuase the pump to turn on for longer. You should then have enough fuel and can start the truck. Let it run for 30 secs or so and then take her on a short drive.

I always tighten the lid down and the turn the key on and listen for the pump to stop running and then turn key off. I do that two or three times then it starts right up.

The return line is on the back side of the canister near where it bolts to the motor.
