hi m8 your injectors might be blocked if its bin off the road that long. take one injector off put it in a clear plastic bottle turn ignition on then push metering unit flap down petrol should fire threw injector if not its blocked. also check your fuel return pipe to ya tank it mite be blocked.

at the back of the pump there is a non return valve valve that sticks, this happened to me, i changed many pumps but not the valve so may be worth a try.
