Last few fuel dots?!?

JARblue

I drive a lot and I like to fill up near my office (new gas station) or near my house (cheap prices). How much quicker do you really think my fuel pump is going to fail? As, long as there's gas in the tank, it seems like the fuel pump would have gas to keep it cool. Is there really a point at which there isn't enough gas to cool the fuel pump but there is enough to run the engine?

I haven't noticed any posts about burnt up fuels pumps due to low fuel (for DDs), but I haven't read everything.

From what little I've read about modern fuel pumps, as long as you're pumping liquid, you're OK. When it gets to the point where you are not pumping, the car shuts down anyway.

Unless you habitually run out of fuel, it shouldn't be a problem. But I'm no expert. YMMV.
