Disconnect the vacuum line at the shutdown lever (plug the end of the rubber line so the system builds vacuum). This will eliminate the VSV from the system as you troubleshoot. If you do have to replace the VSV it is a great opportunity to relocate it higher and easier access for future replacement. If the engine starts with the VSV line disco'd you can shut it off by activating the shutdown lever yourself (starving the engine of air), or moving the lever on the side of the pump (shutting the fuel off at the pump).
Sounds like you had/have a short with your connections when putting it all back together? While you may not need the glow where you are, it's nice to have it working. You can wire in an
interrupt circuit to the factory temp sensor for the glow system, as it does not come on till around 0C (32F) and as things age its nice to give it a few seconds of glow around those temps to make a cleaner start.
If you don't have the service manuals
download them. FU-3 of RM035E has the bleed instructions for the fuel filter and when having worked on the fuel feed pump. If needed a person can crank the starter and you can slightly loosen each injection line going into the nozzle for a moment to let air out. But with the amount of fuel that moves by the injectors on the 13BT I have not experienced problems getting fuel up to the injectors in the past; Once bled up to the fuel filter just short bursts of cranking have done it. Don't crank too long and let the starter cool down between cycles.

Not sure of your comment about more fuel is you're thinking the tank is MT...but if so then yes...make sure enough.
Also make sure no posts are melting, sparks or other such things if you are going to introduce a combustible liquid into the engine bay (ala cracking the lines at the injectors). But as mentioned I have had good experience bleeding up to the fuel filter following the FSM, then cranking it over to move the fuel.
