Went to fill up and put around 17 litres of gas, and suddenly it wont start.

-No crank
-Battery was fine, even tried boosting it.
-Tried bump starting it, nothing

So I left it for the night and came back the morning after and it started right up. I turn t off and try to start it again and it wouldnt start again...

Go back home for 2 hours and come back and check on it. It started. I tried turning it off and back on again and this time I had no problems with it. Stalled a couple times on the way home, but it started right up every stall.

Once Im home, I tried turning the car back on and off again, but this time when the car is running the RPMs drop and it dies. But I could start it right up.

Check your TFI
Check/replace starter solenoid
Remove, clean, inspect, replace ground straps in engine bay
Replace starter if it's high in mileage (it may be getting heat soaked)

as an outlying possibility: Check fuel pressure at the rail when this no-start condition occurs and again when restarting after the rest period and as always, pull codes.
