shouldn't cause a problem if everything's working ok. and unlesss there's omething wrong with your fuel filter i'd be surprised the injectors have been blocked by some dirt floating in the fuel.

put some fuel in the tank (preferably more than just a jerrycan) and crank it, unless something broke then it'll start and run eventually, might take some time to get the pressure up to where it should be.

don't think you can airlock the injectors

You cant airlock the injectors on these. They are under constant pressure and open when the ecu tells them to, so if ther is any air it will just escape when they are open.
