When you refilled it, how much did you put in? A gallon or two may not be enough to prime the system. You should put in at least 1/4 tank worth ( 4 gallons). Then you have to prime the fuel system to get the air out of the lines. To do this, simply turn the key on to the run position for 2 seconds, then off. Repeat 9 more times. Then try starting the car. If it still won't start, prime it again and then try it.

Let me know what happens and we'll go from there.
