Hi. I just refitted my injector pump after striping down and fitting a seal kit. During the process I had to remove battery and replace. I turned on the ignition to start the in tank fuel pump up to prime the system. I cannot get the fuel to the injector pump. I've looked at the fuses and relays and have tried cranking the engine. Am I missing something?

Have you cracked the injectors off? Loosen nuts on top of injectors and bled fuel through till all bubbles come out, then nip up?

I had problems with no fuel, but my in tank was working. You need to see if the in tank pump is working OK

What year is your car? Have you checked the lift pump for function? See my posts in tech archive. Did you strip the pump entirely and more important do you know what you are doing?

Car is 2001. I work in coach garage so not first pump stripped. I can see air in fuel line coming from fuel filter but no movement so I'm wondering if intank pump is not working.

Ok. On your car lift pump should run with glow lamp lit, when cranking and with engine running. I have put a guide how to check lift pump for function in tech archive. Read it.
