The reason is: When you completely run out of gas your gas lines are completely drained of fuel. When you refuel the car the fuel lines are still empty, and you will need to crank the car until the fuel pump has filled the gas lines and established the correct fuel pressure. it's possible you burnt up the fuel pump running it with no gas.

Take off the air-breather cap and pour a few drops of gas into the carberator, do not splash over onto the engine. Change fuel filter,If fuel injection, turn key switch to on and let the electrical system run by itself for a minute,then keep cranking engine.

Is the fuel pump working ?? You should be able to here it.

If you can then you will just have to keep cranking it until it starts. It does not have a fuel return line on it and it is full of air. If you just keep cranking it over it will push all the air out through the injectors and soon fill up with fuel and start.

That is if it don't have a different problem.
