[QUOTE="RossKean, post: 1450689, member: 19880"] People talk about it but I have never heard of an FJR fuel pump failing because fuel ran low and it overheated. (Not saying it couldn't happen but I don't recall any reported cases.) I run mine to within a litre or two of empty routinely and have put in over 24.5 litres (25 L tank) at least two times (unintentionally) but never ran out of fuel to the point where the engine died. Unlike some other brands, the FJR fuel pumps seem to be exceptionally reliable - most failures being attributed to maintenance "errors" or rusty gas tanks. The fuel intake is at the bottom of the tank anyway so any heavier-than-gasoline crap could be drawn up at any time (not a floating pickup). Argument could be valid if we had lighter-than-gas (floating) debris... [/QUOTE]
