Default Cossie won't start

My Saff Cos has been stood for a couple of months and I'm having trouble starting it. Can anybody suggest some things I should be checking?

Any help would be very much appreciated as I'm getting my t*ts off

The tank was empty so theres only 5 quids worth in at the moment. Do you think I should put more in? The pump does buzz. Whats the best way to check if it's reaching the injectors?
