Hmm not heard of the Volvos suffering from Low fuel starvation but it is probably the cause of the fault as you could have allot of muck in the tank which is making the problem worse.

Try changing the fuel filter if you haven't already, other than that it ain’t good practice to run it so low anyhow as you could pick the crud up from the bottom of the tank and nacker your injectors
