Sounds like when you ran it out, you sucked crap that was sitting on the bottom of the tank in to the lines. I would sugest changing the fuel filter, and then go from there. Maybe even drain the tank to see if there is anything that comes out.

wheres the drain plug?

probably somewhere underneathe the tank.

Drivers side corner of the tank. I think that it is either a 22mm or 24 mm.
If your tank has a bolt right in the middle toward the back, DO NOT TAKE THAT ONE OUT!! It is the bolt that holds the sending unit in place, and some times you cant get the bolt started back in.!!
