There's a good chance the sock on the fuel pump has clogged after sucking all the crap and at the bottom of the tank. Wouldn't be the first thing I'd check but even still it's a quick enough job to whip the pump out and check/clean for peace of mind.

its very likely you will see its not right,give it a clean+put it back in[make sure its dry],
i would advise you prime the fuel line by turning ignition lights on for 5 secs then off for 30 secs,then back on for five secs,do this half a dozen times to hopefully fill your fuel lines.
if no joy unplug the fuel filter/then put it back on in case of an air lock,
good luck
