Re: Run fuel tank dry, overheat fuel pump?

I don't get the idea of.... When running low on fuel the pump will suck up gunk from the fuel tank... If there is gunk in the tank it will be there all the time... suspended in the liquid gas and consumed by the motor.

It's in a tank of flammable liquid. Even when it's empty that tank is still full of flammable gas which is even more volatile.
Vehicles exploding is not something manufacturers want to be responsible for. No, you're just going to run out of gas and the fuel pump will stop running when the engine does. The gunk is really the only thing to worry about. And getting stuck in the middle of nowhere of course.
