The in tank pumps are actually cooled by the gasoline, running the fuel tank dry in any fuel injected vehicle with a tank fuel pump will over heat the pump and cause all sort of problems, it is best to fill up when the gauge shows half of one quarter left, so as not to run dry.
I had the pump replaced in Santa Fe NM by Ford, I believe that not running for several years and being close to the sea plus high humidity and heat caused some condensation "aka" water to settle in the pump area and cause some damage or just siting around not running, it had 1/4 tank at all times, noticed the hard start in Pal Springs and got progressively worse up to Santa Fe coming in from Chama, on the steep hill, nearly stalled a couple of times.
An inline high pressure pump might cause more problems down the line with the injectors and the pressure regulator, it might work for a while until some connection ruptures down the line and causes a fire.
With the new pump and the filter it runs great.
