As seen before, what empty tanks are equivalent to is making your ship less massive. So with 1 full tank and 5 empty tanks, your ship is only 3/4s its rated mass. So your one tank is equivalent to 4/3s of a tank, and should provide delta-V according to that. (Which is slightly better than 1.2x one tank, again. Because the last bit of reaction mass you use is the most effective.)

Actually that depends upon the exact circumstances. If he left port with 6 full tanks and only has one left then he does get the multiplier, otherwise he doesn't.
