Need to change the filter. It holds the water you sucked up when it ran dry.
First, pull the filter, then drain the bowl (not sure if that engine has the same filter as my 2000 7.3?), then refill the bowl with pure Diesel 911, put in the new filter, cycle the key (fuel pump) 10 times, then give her a whirl.
