Here's an issue that sounds somewhat similar, also on the '02 L200 --

Fuel tank at less than 1/4 full, car warmed up, parking on a slight hill
where the back of the car is lower than the front. Car will totally refuse
to start - no fuel.

Issue is fuel drains back into the tank, Don't know why, I thought the
newer systems had a check valve in the line to prevent this. Apparently,
after the fuel pump has reached age two or more, the fuel pump can not
provide enough pressure. Replacing the pump will fix it, but be ready to do
it again in a couple of years.
