OK all I ran out of fuel in my Ranger and after putting fuel back it
wouldn't start. What do I need to do in order to get if started.

Keep trying. DO NOT crank the engine continuously for more than about 10
seconds. It could take more than a minute to get the motor running doing
this.

OR

You can locate the infeed line to the Fuel Injector Rail, and disconnect it.
Then switch the key on to run the fuel pump, and turn the key off when fuel
comes up. Then, reconnect teh line and the morot should start easily. It
should take about a minute to unplug the line, feed gas, then plug the line
in again.

It should be obvious that this method would require an assistant and a
vessel in which to catch the fuel.

all you have to do is turn the key on , wait 3 seconds, turn it off and back
on, wait 3 seconds. etc. do this ten times an it will start right up. No
bleeding is necessary and can be downright messy and somewhat dangerous.

I agree with Steve, you can try that. In my expereince though, the fuel pump
will stop running after a few cycles, and they you have to wait for the
pressure to bleed down again. I'd try it until I heard the fuel pump fail to
come on, then I'd move on to disconnecting the supply line from the rail.

They will do this indefinitely. and each time, it will pass the air through
to the return.
