Sad ran out of fuel and now wont start

returned from a 600 mile trip and was very low on fuel, went to a gas station 1 block away, approached the pump and she died and would not start again even though I had added fuel to the tank. I got the truck home and changed the fuel filter and bled the air out of the system (I think), it still wont start. Upon checking the fuel system shut off solenoid on the Bosch VE with a voltmeter I found only 4.6volts. Does anyone have any ideas as to what I should check next, Thanks for your help

If you haven't tried it yet try just cracking one fuel line at each injector until it starts that way you know there is no air in the fuel system once it starts tighten down the line
