This statement makes no sense. If the water/dirt falls to the bottom of the tank and the fuel pickup/filter is near the bottom of the tank then why does it matter how much fuel is in the tank? And how can a near-empty tank over heat the pump?
Plenty of cars use the fuel within the tank to carry heat away from the pump....I've seen many failures of pumps from overheating due to people running their tanks low.
