My dogs got a ground squirll up under my 99 Chevy Suburban and tore up some wires. Now my truck won't start it sounds like no gas is getting to the motor and the wires they tore up is by the gas tank. My nephew put most of the wires back together but he isn't sure about some light green ones. He put the two coming from around the gas tank together They are the ones with the blue wire connector on them and then didn't know if they should be or if they should go to the two light green ones coming from the other direction. I have a pic of them with the wires labeled A,B,C and D. If someone could tell me which ones should go where that would be great.

Looks like the area has been hacked up before. Below "B" in your pic is a holder for a plastic accordion like wiring cover to hold and hide wires out of harm's way. Where is that stuff now?
That blue type connector and what looks like electrical tape doesn't belong at all. Wiring for any reason should be soldered with shrink tubing over it then back inside the protective covering.
Tough call. Should be able to find wires color by color where cut, pulled apart or however broken.
Not sure but I doubt you can buy just that section of wiring new if too messed up - used a maybe. I think model year '99 ended the exact layout that was used for a few years before that. Seems simple but may take a good wiring fix by a professional where this is not exposed to damage so easily,
