try to pump up the fuel, not start it!
or change your fuel filter, it might help aswell.. because if you havent done that, it would be full of the gas tanks dirt

^^^ Like stated above if you were that low on gas the pump was most likely pickin up dirt so it could have clogged the fuel filter.. I would try the filter first bc its only 8 bucks at autozone. If that doesnt work I would then try the fuel pump...

Spray some starter fluid into the throttle body and try to crank. If it starts then you have a fuel issue.
