Hmm. not real sure what they were trying to tell you there. When an engine sits un-run for several days, any oil in the engine will run down to the lowest point, but it wouldnt have anything to do with it not starting (unless the engine were seized up, which obviously isnt the case) Maybe he was trying to say that your fuel pump lost its prime. which means the gas may have run backwards through the fuel line and back into your tank. This would cause you to have to "prime" it, or get fuel back up to the engine. Thats probably what he meant. Usually its not a problem, but it could also mean you have a pinhole in a fuel line somewhere.. I wouldnt worry about it immediately.
