First, chill the **** out! Cant post a tech question early on a Sunday morning and expect everyone thats read it to know the answer. Its in the wrong section anyway. N00bs

Anyway it sounds like eaither the pump burned itself out (big reason not to let the tanks get under 2 gallons) or the filter and/or sock filter are cloged. I have run a Fox down before to almost empty and it gummed up a two week old Napa gold fuel filter. Because I just replaced the filter I went searching for the Unicorn instead of the obvious. Filter is cheap and easy so I would start there. Also prime the system a few times. Turn on the ignition and let the pump fire without going to the "start" position, turn off and repeat that step. Then try and start it. If you dont hear the pump prime then check the fuse to make sure it didnt blow it. If the fuse is not blown and you dont hear the pump prime when the ignition is turned to the on postion then you prolly fried the pump.

If you never let it get below half full then they must of went on one hell of a joy ride. There is only one person I trust to drive my Stang by themselves and its not my father

The fuel pump shouldn't burn up running out of gas. You would have a butt load of complaints because it happens too often. My guess is you lost prime. Just need to pump the gas pedal and get the pressure up again. You still have air in the fuel line.
