Plus the pump has a filter sock on it, and can get clogged up (once the car gets older). |

I've been told the same things, so I just avoid running it that low. |

I have heard the argument about the fuel filter getting clogged more when the tank gets low on fuel. This one may be true. I am not sure, but it's still a fun game I play. |

It big win was when I literally ran out at the top of the hill going to the gas station. I coasted down the hill 200 yards and pulled right in next to the pump. I was smitten with myself that day. |

The fuel pump is an electric motor, and an impeller pump. If the fuel level is below both, which it can be, only the pump section is exposed to fuel. It's made from plastic, so it doesn't transfer cooling to the electric motor. In short, the electric motor isn't cooled if fuel is below it, in the tank.

What did you do to your 2nd gen BRZ today?

While I agree with your logic regarding cooling and that it could be an issue (probably is not however), I disagree on low fuel clogging filters. Sediment and junk settle and are pulled against the filter every time the car is started with more impact than moving around with low fuel levels. I don’t see how that can be avoided other than picking the right gas stations and avoiding filling up when the truck is there or soon after. |

193k miles on my FRS. Original fuel pump. Red dot is true empty. I never fill less than 11gal, a lot of times more than 12 gal. While mine has lasted can't say I recommend it haha.

when my brother was at UTI, some of the other students got into a debate on "the best oil filter" and got into the 'filters down to [x] microns' part.
the teacher finally chimed in after growing tired of it, "you know, even chicken wire can 'filter' 1 micron depending on how one measures it..."
