The symptoms sound very similar to what you're seeing. Try adding at least 6 gallons more to the tank and see how it behaves

But I still don't think it's the problem as it would show fault code in ECU, something like 'Engine start blocked by immobiliser.

I would suggest to try more petrol as well if you do not have at least third of tank already.
I put in about six gallons. I will try adding more. I do have fuel at the rails but the plugs are dry. Thank you.
