i have had a fuel pump go on me due to running it dry. it was because the pump was straining so hard to get enough fuel to maintain pressure and it burnt out. it was completely my fault (i knew better than to let it get that low), and not something that i would expect to happen on a typical, non-modified car. i only mention it because it IS possible for this to happen. on the average car though, i wouldn't worry about it.

i never let my tank get that low though, just because i don't want to run out of gas. i'm not concerned at all that it's going to burn the pump. and if it does end up burning out the pump, it will be long after i've gotten rid of the car lol
