85 200td, No fuel to Pump..

SO....My rear brakes blew out, so I fixed them by running a new length of hardline from the master cyl. back to the rear axle..not too bad of a job. When I tried to start the car after words it started right up then died after 30 seconds. I did a little investigating and found that the Priming pump (hand operated) was not pumping ANY diesel (I disconnected pump output line to test)...moreover, it was pumping WVO just fine (when I switched the intake valve). I'm thinking that I may have busted loose one of the incredibly rusted fuel lines while I was monkeying around getting the brake line into place and into those annoying rubber spacers (which seem to be the #1 place for rusting). Does this sound like a probable diagnosis? One of the fuel lines felt like it had a lot of give towards the fuel tank. How hard is it to replace the fuel lines from the tank all the way to the front of the car...would replacing all the line with rubber fuel line be OK (I'm kinda in a bind for $$ and time) Do I need to drop the fuel tank to gain access to where the fuel line enters/exits the tank? Unfortunately my car is 100 miles away and I only have weekend access to it so I need to get all my ducks in a row before next weekend. Thanks a lot
