How old is your main fuel filter in the engine bay?
Injections cars reallly don't like being run out of fuel and it's best to keep them no lower than 1/4 tank as the lift pump is cooled by the petrol.
Lift pump can be got at from a hole just below the rear seat, if you need help or advice on getting it out let me know.
Filter lives here.

There so 2 types depending on age of car, cars from1985ish have a bigger fuel filter like mine.
It's also worth fitting some new copper washers, 1 end is the same size as sump plug washer and the other end is slightly smaller but sometimes you get 1 with the filter then match up a new washer in a shop.
