If the problem is fuel related, its most likely the fuel pump pickup filter/mesh, give it a clean. Dirt builds up around the lower parts of the filter, thats why it happens only when petrols low.

You need to take out the rear seats and dismantle the fuel pump mount on the fuel tank to get to it. I doubt its been cleaned in 10+ years of operation, like 90% of soarers out there.
