Slightly off topic. But if this is really true, is there some reason that a modern fuel pump cannot be designed to deal with this common enough situation without failing? You know. Like the fuel pumps in my family's 1956 Cadillac and 1964 Buick did? Like the fuel pumps in my 1968 Cadillacs do? Like my 1970 Ford Maverick? Like my 1988 Chevy Sprint? Why should the fuel pump in my new Toyota blow up if I happen to run out of fuel? Think about that. Do our cars really have such a poor fuel pump design? Or is this just hearsay? Either way, the blame needs to be apportioned properly.
