Is it possible that the tank got pushed on impact and is pinching the soft lines on top of the fuel tank?

I didn't use a fuel pressure tester but I did remove the cap on the fuel rails an turn the key to on pos. to prime the fuel pump but not one drop of fuel came out...

And as for the pinched soft lines on top.my car was hit good enough to make the gas cap stick out about a half inch due to the qrtr panel being pushed in.if I wantd to check the soft lines can I seethem from underneath or do I hav to drop the tank?

FWIW if you fix the car I have a rear bumper and quarter panel coming off my 01 Z28 donor car. It's straight.

You need to drop the tank.

Ok...I'm starting to pull the car apart.Not as easy as I thought it would be.I remove the body clips from the bottom half of the bumper but I noticed there are a few more in between the bumper and the quarter panel.I can't seem to reach those unless I remove the quarter panel??is this necessary?

Did you check to see if you could possibly push them out from the inside? Or from the fender well? I've never pulled a rear bumper off so it's just a guess.
