so one day as i was looking for a job and ran out of gas but the gas light never came on so i walk down to the gas station got some gas put it in turned the key it was turning over and sounded like it wanted to start but still nothing . then this idea came into my head that i didn't put enough gas into it so i walked again got more gas ..... turned the key but it still didn't start i kept on trying to start it but nothing . so im stranded in 90 degree weather sweating my a$$ off being stupid and stressed out i just kept trying to start it still nothing. about an hour rolled by and i went to give it another go and then that's when it didnt even make a sound at all it didn't even turn over but the windows and the dash lights came on like normal when i turned the key. so i thought it was the battery dyeing so i flagged down this old guy in a blazer to give me a jump.but still she wouldn't start or turn over. this is when it gets werid. the old guy was nice and towed me home. the next day i went out to see if it will turn over and it did so i went to autozone got a new fuel filter put it in and it turn but still nothing. do u guys think its the fuel pump and if it is could you give me tips .

if you went bone dry, it just needed to prime, you should have left the key in the on position so the fuel pump would cut on and pump, then it has to fill the fuel filter and then boom. nothing should be wrong, BUT FIX THAT TANK LOW LIGHT!
