bleeding fuel??

Alright, Im installing a edge juice with attitude and I put the FP sensor on the vp 44. Now, truck won't start.
I tried bleeding from the banjo bolt on top of the Fuel filter thingy. It sprayed out a bunch of fuel and I tightened it as it was spraying.
Still doesn't work.
I loosened 1,2,and 3 fuel lines and starting to crank but the dang battery is dead after just a few cranks.
Besides the battery, any ideas?

you let air in when you swapped out the banjo bolt on the inlet of the vp44. You need to crack the injector lines, instead of cranking, just bump the starter and the LP will run for 30-40 seconds at a time. This way you arent putting a heavy strain on the battery's....

I did this and it took 10-15 bumps before I got it started. Local diesel shop bumps it a few times and then hits it with the starting fluid

Patience!!
Pulled the mustang over there for a jump and after 10 more tries, it fired up.
So far, everything is ok.
Thanks for the replies.
