there may be a valve between the tanks that has to be opened, or a manual splitter valve that changes from one tank to the other. It may be accessible on deck or inside a small inspection hatch.

Welcome to the site!
So was this your first time using the fuel tank? Do you have a selector valve to swap between the two tanks? Or do you unplug the fuel hose to swap to the other tank? Several things it could be, tell us how your fuel system delivery is set up.

In addition to the already mentioned items, there could also be a plug in the gas line or tank. The vent line could also be plugged so as fuel is used it creates a vacuum and starves the engine. But again, we need more info to help narrow the possibilities.
 Additionally, did you check the tank for water? if you've got water in the bottom of the tank, and you're sucking water instead of fuel then the engine will not run no matter how good it is.

To get down to brass tacs...
The fuel starts at the pickup in the tank and flows through the hose, valve if equipped, any fittings, squeeze bulb, etc to the motor.... If it is plugged OR has a leak anywhere in that path it won't work... Start at the beginning and follow it's path, testing each component until you find a problem... Also a plugged fuel tank vent can stop fuel flow but would be obvious if you open the tank and is pulls in a bunch of air.
