You NEED to crack open the injector hard lines at the injectors if you want any hope of starting a dry engines. No other way to get all the air out.
Use a 14mm wrench and loosen all 5 injector hardline nuts.
Have your son put the gas pedal to the floor and crank the engine, like Mxfrank said only 15 seconds at a time.
You stand over the engine bay and watch for diesel starting to squirt out of the tops of the injectors where the loosened nut is. Once the fuel starts dribbling out, tell your son to stop cranking and then tighten the dribbling injector nuts down snug.
You may need 4-5 cycles of cranking before getting fuel at the injectors.
Once 3-4 hardlines are tightened, tell your son to release the gas pedal and crank like normal, no gas and with a glow cycle. Keep cranking till it catches.
It'll start up and stumble, but smooth out quickly.
Make sure he knows NOT to go below 1/4 tank to avoid ever having this issue again.
