The fuel supply and return lines have been swapped around either ontop of tank or engine bay. the fuel return pipe in the fuel tank does not go all the way to the bottom of the tank hence you run out of fuel.
Sometimes replacing the Fuel pump and fuel filter and adding fuel cleaning additives solves these types of problems. *This is for anyone else that might not have solved their similar fault.
