as mentioned, it might be the pickup tube has an issue
plus any leak in the fuel line somewhere will allow it to suck air instead of gas, also if the tank vent is clogged it forms a vacuum and cant suck gas and both of these situations it will act like its out of gas.
the sending unit in tank or the gauge is bad so check those to see which needs replacing and then run all new fuel lines from tank to motor just to be safe.
did you notice suction on the cap when you opened it to add gas? if so that tells you the vent is blocked.

not sure abut suction, I just took the pickup tube out and it was clean along with the screen. Not sure how this vent is setup. I will see if I can get it apart.
