Might be as simple as not letting the fuel get so low in the tank. Does it happen when you have more fuel in the tank?
I have a 3.2 litre V6 with 96,000km. A few times recently the engine has hiccupped and lost power briefly. On each occasion I was turning left onto a main road and accelerating away. At the time I thought it might be a fuel surge problem when the fuel tank was low or near empty. VCDS has reported a fault frequency of 5 and has logged:
012555 - Low Pressure Fuel regulation
P310B - 008 - Fuel Pressure Outside Specification – Intermittent
000401 - Fuel Pressure Sensor (G247)
P0191 - 002 - Implausible Signal – Intermittent
Then today when accelerating up a hill, again with a low fuel tank and the car showing 30km to empty, the engine misfired and the check engine light flashed on and off for maybe 5 or 10 seconds. VCDS has determined today’s event as:
000768 - Random/Multiple Cylinder Misfire Detected
P0300 - 001 - - Intermittent
000773 - Cylinder 5
P0305 - 001 - Misfire Detected – Intermittent
000774 - Cylinder 6
P0306 - 001 - Misfire Detected - Intermittent
Does anyone have any thoughts regarding the root cause?

Hasn't happened on a healthy tank of fuel that I can recall recently. I've got a full tank now so I try to provoke it.
