[QUOTE="RossKean, post: 1432368, member: 19880"] I agree with SkooterG. Fuel pump failures in FJRs are EXTREMELY rare. I certainly don't deliberately run until I am at fumes but I certainly don't worry about damaging my fuel pump! Why should a fuel pump get especially hot anyway? Seems to me that would be a major design flaw for something that is in contact with flammable liquids and vapors!! Hot enough to damage the pump - I don't think so; especially since electric motors often run pretty hot without self-destructing. I can just barely understand that the fuel may lubricate the pump to some extent but even a tiny amount of remaining liquid gasoline would do that. Once the liquid is gone, the pump won't be running anyway. [/QUOTE]
