My truck won't get fuel

Need help!!
My truck was gelled up yesterday and I let it sit in a warm garage with a block Heater for 24 hours. It is no longer gelled up. The truck is now cranking at normal speed but won't Start. I am thinking it is not getting fuel at this point. Should I bleed the lines and how do I do that?

Can you hear the lift pump run when you turn the key without starting it? If it is running, try bumping the starter to make the pump run longer, it should prime it self. May have to do this a few times.
 
Need to verify you've got fuel to the injection pump, crack a line while lift pump is activated you should get fuel. Depending on how warm your shop is and how long it's been sitting there your filters may still be plugged. They need some good heat to turn the wax back into a liquid state to be able to pass through.
Once you have fuel to the IP it is not necessary to crack any fuel lines on a CR. It will bleed itself as you crank provided you have steady fuel flow to it.
