Re: Not start after empty tank/flat batt ????
The quickest way is to find the peice on the fuel rail that looks like a tire valve. Use a screwdriver to keep it open while some turns on and off the key a couple times till you get fuel out. Then the system should be primed.
It is not a good idea to smoke while doing this!!!!
