Once again you show how little you know.

The fuel pump is cooled by fuel. If you run on a low tank that doesn't
cover the fuel pump, it can fail prematurely. At $190~425 for a fuel pump.
it's probably cheaper to keep enough fuel in the tank to cool the pump.

What did I expect from someone who changes his oil at 12,000 miles whether
it needs it or not.
