Trouble bleeding fuel system.

We replaced the head gasket on my truck this weekend and now we can't get the fuel system primed. As far as I know I got all the air out of the filter housing by useing the primer button with the bleeder screw open. I had fuel coming out of all of the fuel lines at the injectors and got the truck to start while a few of the lines were loose but it died before I got all the lines tight. Now it doesn't look like I'm getting any fuel out of any of the fuel lines at the injectores. The truck has alitle less that 1/4 tank of fuel. Do I need to put more in it? Any suggestions on where to look next would be apreciated.

If you have access to a compressor, do this. Using a rag and NO MORE than 10psi, stick the chuck in the filler tube and tape it open. That will charge the tank and drive fuel to the filter. Crack open the bleeder and wait for the air to purge. Continue on to the banjo @ the IP. Start cranking, although it may take a while. It should work, I have done it that way a bunch of times. Good luck.
