Default Pump not priming :(

Hey guys,
Escos had been sitting for nearly 2 years in garage without being started, so new fuel, oils water level checked etc etc, but wen tried to start just winding, initially thought spark, but plenty of spark to all cylinders, then noticed fuel pump wasn't coming on, run live to pump it works, so I know pump is ok, also even tho I put 25L of fresh fuel in the fuel light and gauge are still saying there's nothing!!!??
So I guess I'm asking is there any common relay or anything that could be gone etc??

Cheers!

Most likely the relay has stuck, a little tap or 'flick' on it should resolve it.

Was thinking it could be immobiliser but it all seems to be working fine,
Any idea which relay it would be and where?

Cheers

I doubt it's an immobiliser issue, given you have ignition etc.

The relay is yellow I should think and it's probably behind the dash.
