Hello,
It sounds like you might have a problem with the in-tank pre delivery fuel pump. Running the fuel tank empty most likely damaged the fuel pump.
A quick check is to cycle the ignition and listen for the in-tank fuel pump to energize. A normal pump will emit a light buzzing noise. A damaged pump will either hum load or will not switch on at all.
