Car will not start

I just purchased 2006 ML350 and it will not start. It cranks but will not start. I believe it smells like raw fuel out of exhaust. where to look to check. Car was at dealer for abs short repair and will not start after.

When I start cranking car it shows zero fuel in tank. I added fuel about 2 gallons and still does not crank. Is my fuel pump bad?

I hooked up pressure gauge and cranked the engine and it showed 0 pressure.
