I've seen this view before (driving with low fuel will harm your pump and dont agree. Here's why: As long as there is a steady stream of gas to the pump, cooling of the pump is not affected. Its the fuel running thru he pump that cools it. If you run so low that you are getting air to the pump not fuel then you will harm it, but your car will only run a few seconds that way before it stalls. If you keep your ignition on and let the pump try to pump from an empty tank you can harm it, but you are not doing this if you are driving down the road with the gas gauage on Empty if the car is still running.
Also - the pick up for fuel is on the bottom of you tank and is always picking gas up from the same spot whether the tank is full or empty. If there is junk in the tank you are picking it up when you run with a full tank to.
