Update on the fuel problem

RE: http://64.246.42.114/vboard/showthre...threadid=89984

I checked Chris & Mike's suggestion to unhook the inlet to the TBI and see if any fuel came out when I tried to start the truck, nothing came out. I then took out the fuel filter, it was clear. I put the air compressor line to the TBI inlet to see if anything would blow out to where I had unhooked the filter, nothing came out. I then drained the fuel tank (about 8 gallons in there) and pulled out the foam. I ran the air compressor to the other side of the filter hookup, the air ran through the fuel pump and to the fuel cell without any apparent obstruction. Right now I'm letting everything drip and air dry.
Any ideas what the problem might be from these findings? The fuel pump is brand new with less than 50 miles on it.
