What really kills them is sucking air and modern gas tanks designed for in tank pumps usually have a sump built to contain fuel around the pump. If your pump lasted this long I would not worry about either issue. Things wear out.
They say there are no such thing as a stupid question. They say there is always the exception that proves the rule. Don't be the exception.

I have heard this too many times over the years, but I'm not sure if it's fact, or urban legend, or maybe only applies to certain cars/years.
I know I've run my daily driver LOW several times over the years and never had any issues.

our modern vehicles, I always make it a game. how close to "0 miles remaining" can I get on the overhead trip computers with the low fuel light on, before I stop to fill up. I've actually driven several miles on 0 before. and I can almost always put 21-22.5 gallons into the tank that's listed as a 22 gallon tank. 110K+ miles and 10 years later, still on original fuel pump
