Issue with alternator, brought on by fuel line issues???

Just wondered if this was familiar to anyone:

Day 1 - very low fuel, wouldn’t start in the morning. Ran battery flat turning it over. Charged battery, put 20 litres in. Starts and all fine.

Day 2 - drove 10 miles-ish and engine died. Now battery isn’t being charged (checked with voltmeter). Got home with 3 stops charging from friends car!

Plenty of faults on dash.

So my question is - can the 2 issues be related? If so how? If not is it coincidence?

Thanks

So, replaced alternator and going well so far.

Seems like 2 incidents were unconnected

Will update if all goes wrong!
