My suggestion was when low fuel is detected, DISCONNECT THE POWER FEED, and THEN shut the engine down. Two phases.

Now a low fuel light would be nice. And it's very easy to implement. Like on my motorcycles (and some cars as well). fuel tank has a thermistor in the fuel tank near the bottom. current source runs constant current through the thermistor, gas keeps the thermistor cool. when fuel level gets low, (below the thermistor) thermistor temp rises as it warms up, signals low fuel light to come on. simple, reliable, and doesn't need any float. very consistent on what level triggers it.
