Freelander 1 02 Td4 lift pump replaced, car won-t start

Gentlemen, do you have to bleed the fuel system after filter and pump replacement? I did repalce both (because of increasing noise of the original Pierburg one - 200k km) and now the pump spins over 10 sec till stop and the car do not start. Delphi diagnose says fuel pressure sensor. I repeat, the car ran perfect before, just increased lift pump noise made me change it.
Thank you for the input!
...

Update: Apparently the car ran with only the lift pump working. Tank pump is not working, but the fuel line remained full and the system worked.
Considering the above, a cheap fix would be to put a manual rubberball fuel pump before the lift pump to ensure input for it till start.
Shall stil have to change the tank pump.
Any way to open the lid without the special LR tool?

Update: replaced tank pump with Magneti Marelli, same make as lift pump. After good seconds of priming with buble sounds it fired as allways.
Notes:
1. Can confirm the non oem lift pump is noisy.
2. The rubber gasket for the tank pump have to be put back before the pump.
3. There still is a soft bubbling sound from the tank, hope all the air will get eventually out.
4. Fuel pressure is now over 400 psi, old setup (oem + dead tank pump) was cca 350psi.
