From the other threads someone suggested to try and prime it 2-3 times then try to start, but not much more than that.

Other than that walk to the gas station and get 5gal of gas, or call a tow truck.

You need 5-ish gallons of gas and to try starting your car. Best thing would be to have a battery booster or something, because you'll have try start, or try to start it a lot of times

You should only need to add 1 gallon, that will be enough to prime the pump side and get the siphon going to pull fuel from the other side.

Sucks. Before risking tow damage to the car ask the tow guy for gas.
