Answer
There should be a few plastic lines on the top of the fuel tank.

The large fill tube, a fill vent hose (about 1/2 or 3/4 inch diameter).

Then there is the fuel delivery line to the filter, A return line, a vapur line to the charcoal canister, and maybe a rollover line or two.

Does the cel light come on?

What is the fuel pressure with key on?

What codes, if any are stored in the ECM?

Do you have good spark while cranking?

Does fuel come out this line when you are cranking?
