Man I'm having problems reading your post. What vehicle has twin turbos? When you say didn't want to start for 3 days is this your call or you tried to start but never wanted to run. What's a BC treatment, why did you do this. Now after you got it started and it warmed up you shut it off or did it just die? Then after sitting you started it then did you shut it off or did it die. Why did you remove the gas tank?

I agree with Irish alley on your post, I can't understand enough to help, as for the fuel tank, largest (3/8 nipple) is feed,    Medium (5/16 nipple) is return and the smallest (1/4 nipple) Is for your coal canister, If equipped I'm pretty sure
