Good neighbors eh?

Well, here's a short tale of misery for you all to laugh at.
Picked up a 2 outlet sending unit for my fuel tank as the old one failed yesterday. Put it in this morning as the tank only had two gallons in it. Started off on my merry way to the corner store for gas while moving furniture today. Put in 4 gallons, started it up and then it stalled and wouldn't start thereafter.
Well, checking for fuel from the pump and not finding any, I pulled the pump and replaced it right there in the parking lot of my convenience store, after calling my wife to go pick up the part. Key in , cranks but does not start. Check the fuel pump for volume again- nothing. Nice neighbor mechanic guy suggests I might have nicked a rubber fuel line so the pump is drawing more air than fuel. So I pull the rubber sections and check for cuts. Nothing.
Call my other neighbor who kindly obliges my request for assistance and he pulls my truck home to the street in front of my house.
Moments later as he drives off and I am looking at the furniture loaded in the truck, wondering what a waste of time this will be to unload it all when the light comes on, my coffee kicks in, all neurons align and my brain starts working for a few minutes, I realize that I crossed the hoses on the tank.
If my neighbors only knew. Feeling like a monkey with a wrench. Laugh now, go ahead, you know you want to.
