I replaced the electric fuel pump and I am not sure if I hooked up the lines to the pump correctly, there are 3 lines, one of them is bigger in size, the other 2 are the same size, my question is does it matter which line goes to which spot on the pump, one of the lines has the quick connect at both the tank and the line at the frame rail, the other line has a different kind of connection on the pump and is clamped to a splitter on the frame rail, looking at the pump with the bigger line (the main line) is on the right, where do the other 2 lines go, which line goes to the middle and which line goes on the left, oh, by the way the car will not start after replacing the pump but I can hear it turn on.
I hope this is not too confusing

the other line that is similar to the fat one goes right beside it. the funny looking one goes farthest away from the fat one.

Thats what I was afraid of, I am pretty sure I hooked them up with the funny looking one next to the big one, ifm that is the case will it cause it to not start?
