Ran fuel pump for 30 seconds, no change. Pulled the sending unit out again, found one of the fuel lines disconnected. Reconnected it and was able to pop it off again without depressing the side release button :/
I tinkered with the locking mechanism using a precision screwdriver and reseated it, it popped off again. Repeat, and it felt kinda snug? Not sure. Put everything back together, ran fuel pump 15 seconds, car fired right up. I have about 40% confidence that hose will remain connected. :/

No, just coated everything in sugar, I heard that would make it sticky and not fall off again!

Actually, egg is best.

Jack up the left rear of the car and put it on a jack stand. Remove the rear tire. On the lower left corner of the firewall (you will have to reach above the plastic underbody shield) there are 2 quick disconnects. Remove the one with a rubber hose, ignore the one with thinner plastic hose. If you get squirted with gas when removing this fuel QD, you have fuel pressure. If you want to run gas through the system, attach a 1/4 inch rubber hose to the tube stub you took the fuel QD off from. Put the rubber hose into a container safe for gasoline. Turn on the key - gas should flow like a bugger out the rubber hose. If it doesn't, you have a problem upstream from there.
