Default Urgent help car wont start

g'day everyone im in need of some urgent help, my brothers xr6 which is an 01, duel fuel wont start, here are what the problems/ things leading upto it

starting yesterday the car backfired
today the car would drive ok on lpg but when switch over to petrol the car was underpowered, rough idle, then just clonked out and now can not get the car to start again. The has plenty of fuel and gas, i think being duel fuel it also needs petrol to start but even on gas can not get it to start.

checked leads and few things, but not to sure, maybe a blocked fuel filter?

really need help asap

it's possibly blown a vacuum line off, at the rear of the intake manifold?

can you hear the fuel pump prime for a second or so when the ignition is turned on?
and yeah if it hasnt been changed in the last few services, the fuel filter might be blocked?

im not to sure about the fuel pump prime what kind of sound should i be looking for, the car is about 15 mins from my house atm

the car drove after the backfire with one of the hoses blown off wouldnt it be making a sucking sound also??? i did check the initial hoses but seemed they where all on
