I'm gonna go ahead and guess you made a right hand turn at a decent speed right before it happened. Right?

Search on the forum for Fuel Starvation.

Basically the gas tank sits over the hump for the drive line, it also has a hump to form fit. The pump is on the right hand side of the tank, so if you make a fast right turn with low fuel all of your gas ends up on the left side of the tank away from the pump.

If you were at a quarter tank, take out your jack and jack up the left rear side as high as you can. This worked for me the first time it happened at an auto-x.
