car won't start

I originally put this on the gas tank thread but I decided to start a new one. I took out the old gas tank last week and put in a different one (both for SE's) and now the car won't start. It will crank but it won't turn over. The fuel pump will only turn on when the door in the air filter box is pushed open. I checked the fuses and I know I put the right hoses on the right metal fittings on the fuel tank. So, any suggestions?? And yes I put a couple of gallons of gas in it.
