I assume that you have since added more fuel to the tank. That would be step 1.
When you saw pressure at the fuel rail, did you actually measure the pressure, or just see that fuel was there? Did you also do a fuel flow test? that's where you measure how much fuel comes out in a set period of time.
My guess is that you have a seriously clogged fuel filter. There is usually some seriously nasty gunk at the bottom of the tank - run it low, and you can suck it into the fuel filter, clogging it up. You can get plenty of fuel pressure through the filter, just no flow. The second you need any sort of real fuel flow, the pressure drops, and the engine quits.
Seeing as the event was tied in with running low on fuel, I'd first replace the fuel filter. If that didn't do the trick, I'd run fuel pressure and fuel flow tests from the Bentley manual - it's possible that the fuel pump screen got clogged. You'd want to run the tests before digging the pump out - the tests are easier.
And chances are, the fuel filter is due for a change, anyway.
