My GMC had been running fine, I would start it up and run it for 15 minutes or so every weekend. One weekend, it simply wouldn't start, I determined it wasn't getting gas.

The previous owner bypassed the mechanical fuel pump, placing an electric unit on the frame up front in the engine compartment. While I suspect the pumps location to be part of my vapor lock problem, it is not the cause of today's no-start condition. I know that I do have gas in the tanks. When I take the inlet line loose from the fuel pump and pull some vacuum on it I only get air. Is there some place that is typical for fuel lines to come loose, or is there a common problem with the selector that I need to address? I really need to get the GMC moved from where it sits at the moment today if possible.
