Damage by sediments is actually one of those urban automotive myths. The pump sits at the bottom of the tank regardless and has protective screens to prevent any of that stuff from damaging the Engine. This might have been more valid in the past, but newer gas tanks are less prone to corrosion. You also have a fuel filter. Where it could cause damage to the pump is because running completely out of gas prevents lubrication to the pump and causes it to fail prematurely.
