Default HELP lude wont start

i wrote a message earlier about how i ran out of gas and after i put gas in the car wouldnt start. well it's been over a week since then and today i started the car but it died about 10 seconds after and i cannot start it at all now. i tried banging on the tank cuz that's how the BCAA guy started it. he said the fuel pump could have jammed. why do u guys think the car is not starting? what should i do? thanks for all your replys

could it be dirt in the tank not letting the car start? is there some fuel line filters or something like that if yes how hard are they to clean?

guys please help me out here, i'm pretty frustrated about this

Can you hear the fuel pump start when you turn the car on? The fuel fliter is just left of the TB on the firewall. Unscrew your banjo bolt(Fuel line) from the fuel rail and turn your car on. Have a rag ready in case fuel comes out.
