Default 1999 Chevy Silverado

Hello, I need a little help. I have a 1999 Chevy Silverado and my gas tank strap broke and it dropped down and rubbed a hole in the tank. I put a new tank in and now it wont start. I strayed starting fluid in the throttle body and it does not fire. I have checked all the fuses and they are all good. I need some advice on what to do next. Thanks!

Check the wiring at the tank to make sure there weren't any shorts created when the tank dropped.

I have fuel to the rail so the pump is working, I am going to make sure that I have enough pressure at the rail either today or tomorrow I will update when I know.

Check your shraders valve, you may have to replace your fuel pressure regulator. When my fuel pump went out I had to replace the fuel pressure regulator before the fuel rail would pick up
