Running out of fuel may have dislodged crud in the tank or somewhere else in your fuel system. You may have a partially plugged tank screen or fuel filter. Also, the bleed hole in the fuel filter head (under the banjo bolt) may be plugged. The MB does a wonderful job of removing air on it's own thru that hole if it's not plugged or if there is not a severe air leak.
