Default I'm having trouble with my fuel system

I got water in my intake a couple of days ago, and since then I've cleaned/refab my motor. Now the only thing that i can find that's wrong is I'm not getting any fuel through my fuel lines. I've checked my fuses, replaced my fuel filter, and checked the fuse panel for power, and everything seems to look okay. If anyone knows any solutions, I would be grateful for your help.

listen for it. and yes it will hum when you turn your key to the on position. you don't remember hearing it because most peoples radio's are on or talking to someone, but try it and report back.

then start looking along the lines of why your fuel pump isn't working. could be a fuse, the fuse pump relay, could be a bad ground to your fuel pump, could be your fuel pump as well.

I vote fuel pump relay, it fits in the spot right next to it and it looks right but wont function. So either the relay is bad or its in the wrong spot, me and Tom switched ours for a night on accident and were baffled till morning when we had light.

make sure your relay is in the right spot! you can actually put it in slightly off and it wont work....
