fuel?

hi all
i think i ran my 1997 pontiac g prix out of fuel. not good i know. but after i put 2-3 gallons in her it still wont start. i pumped the fuel to try to get gas to engine. i heard that there is a way to get fuel to motor besides the method i used . anyone know? thank you

everyone does that at least once.:banghead:
But to prime the fuel system you turn the key to the "Run" position (second click) and this runs the fuel pump for 3 to five seconds, do this a couple of times then try to start.
