wont work, you will either have to tow start it and can take upto a mile or pull the fuel feed pipe off the fuel filter and and pull the fuel into to filter using a hand/electric primer.

Sometimes there is a prime pump on top of the fuel filter.

We had one at work that ran out of fuel. We had to fill 2 jerry cans of fuel to get it started as 1 was not enough and crack off the injectors.
