If all the fuel has sloshed to the driver side of the tank, the pump on the passenger side has no way to get that fuel to build fuel pressure with. If you add a gallon, it naturally fills on the same side as the pump. Only once fuel pressure is established again, does the siphon system begin to recover fuel that has sloshed over to the driver side. If it fires right up after adding a gallon, you just experienced your average fuel starvation. If it still doesnt run after adding a gallon, then you want to test your fuel pressure. If no pressure, then you have a dead pump. Easy to change out yourself BTW.
