Kind of hard to say without being there.
First inspect all the hoses and make sure none fell off.
Next try to get to the Fuel pressure check port. It is on the end of the fuel rail. It looks like a tire Valve. Push it in and see if gas comes out.

Thats what I would look at first.

Was the Gas guage still reading you had some?

If so one of the sending units are bad. There is 2 of them one for each side.

They are both in the tank one on the drivers side and one on the passenger side.

Sorry to say but the Dealer can tell which one is bad. They are under the rear seats.
