You haven't trapped the wires when you fitted the tank have you? Worth checking out.

just try taking the purple fuel pump relay out and bridging with a small bit of wire pins 30 and 87 (red wire and red/black wire) you should hear the fuel pump, just dont leave it pumping to long without starting the engine

if it starts ok then the relay is fucked
