2002 7.3 powerstroke won't start

I have a 2002 7.3 liter powerstroke that a friend ran out of diesel and ever since then(about a week) it ran poorly, rough idle, no power. I changed the fuel filter and now it starts and will run for a few seconds but dies after chugging black smoke out the pipe. I was told by someone on another forum that there are 2 fuel filters? One under the truck, I cannot find it but i can find something that warns of high pressure fuel. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
