Ain't that the truth. Mine went out a few years ago and the first thing the mechanic said was"let me guess you just filled up". Said easily nine out of ten times the tank was just filled up when they go. What do you think that's all about?

Easy... Pump usually fails when low on gas because it gets overheated when running on fumes.... As it starts to die people think oh crap I'm running out of gas n fill up.... When it keeps getting worse or dies altogether they head for the mechanic.

both ,my chevys went with no warning! but agree that running on a low tank causes it, i always fill at 1/2 as tank

that will never be an issue because I cant afford to fill the tank.
