That's an experience I never had, can't help you. Are you sure you didn't hear the fuel pump in any of the failed attempts, and that you heard it when it finally started?
Yes 1000% sure !!
I called this morning my dealer and explained what happened.
He said it could be that the fuel pump got hot and after cooling down it started again.
But that's look to me not the case as we drove not so long and the tanks was almost full.
