Yes, it's true and it pretty much goes for ANY car. When you run your vehicle with low gasoline levels, it overheats your fuel pump.

If you constantly does this, it will eventually lead to premature fuel pump failure.

Ever notice how some drivers can go only 30k - 55k miles and have their pump fail? Then you have some drivers who go well beyond 95k miles before requiring service on their fuel pump.

As far as removing the fuel tank....thats completely wrong. If you pull up the rear seat cusion, you'll see 2 access covers. One on each side. Remove the access covers and you'll see a retaining ring that requires a special tool to remove. then you have access to the fuel pump. and fuel level sender...
