Likely that he is already on reserve and doesn't realize it.

It has been a LONG time since we mentioned how the petcock lever is mis-leading.
I suspect that when he is out, there will be no recovery.

There is a tiny arrow on the lever that points to the active position; it is NOT the long part of the lever itself; just the opposite.

He may not have it set on reserve ER, the other possibility is the tube fell of the petcock like it did on mine and was sucking straight from the bottom the whole time, (it sucks how you find that out too).
