Tell him to keep pumping until he is sure the main filter is full. I changed the fuel filters last weekend, and the car started and died. Then would not start again. Had to pump for a couple of minutes to be sure the spin on filter was full. I recharged the battery to 90% and then I let it sit overnight. Started right up the next morning. Better yet unscrew the main filter and fill it with fuel, then pump to prime.
