The big in tank fuel pump killer is running the car super low on gas or heaven forbid, running it plumb out of gas. The fuel in the tank is what cools the pump. No/low fuel and instant overheat. I drove said Buick and Oldsmobiles as company cars with well over 250,000 miles on them with no problem..... until I ran the tank dry.
