I am just going to take a guess that the "jump" was pretty rough. That being said the automatic fuel cut-off should have tripped and shut down your fuel. where is it on a your model,I have no IDEA. but you said you are getting fuel, are you sure? could it have been residual fuel in the line and not actually pumping? are both lines from your batterys positive side still connected? I did not see what year or model you were rolling so these are just some ideas. sounds more like a crash than a jump, but what do I know.lol.
