Flashing EML is immobiliser so it's something related to that.
Could be supply to the transponder box, connections etc. have you changed anything else? Or worked on other things electrical?

immobiliser fault sometimes cuts the power to the fuel pump, i think
take the fuel line off at the filter and crank it over to see if you got any juice pumping through

It won't just cut fuel.
I'll respond to your U2U in a sec.
Its got a imobliser fault, Either its lost the code for some reason, a fuse has gone or a wire has broke randomly.
Its worth checking all the fuses.
If you was a bit closer to me I'd come plug my laptop in, but as you're not I'll suggest stuff until I'm blue in the face before coming down.
So yeah, Don't bother looking for fuel, It will spurt a little out as it runs the pump for a couple of seconds when you put the key in, then kills it.
Check fuses to start with.
