Fuel pumps get their cooling by being immersed in fuel. When they get
older, sometimes the pump's bearings seize up when they heat up - they
obviously heat up more when the fuel level is low.
It could be an indication that your pump is getting tired. Keep the
tank near 1/2 full (or 1/2 empty, depending on what kind of person you
are and you should be ok.
