Impossible to tell for sure without having a look, but it sounds like it's picked a bit of muck up from the bottom of the tank

Mrs Red rang me with the same problem the other day

"What do you think?" she asked

"Crap in the carburettor" I replied

10 minutes later she rang back, "I've tried that" she said, "It didn't work"

Your pal didn't put deisel in did he?

By running out completely you will have sucked up bits of crap from the bottom of the tank , these will now be blocking the fuel filter , all that needs to be done is diconnect the fuel filter , turn the engine over to make sure the fuel is getting through then either clean or replace the filter , should be ok then.

I now look like a complete nutcase after reading Red's post, I was p1ssing my self and the wife thinks I belong in a loony bin.  

It's still worth it, that man cracks me up.
