I give up. Why are people saying "Fuel Pump loves you" "it is your truck suck the bottom of the tank"? Please tell me you don't think the fuel pumps, fuel pickup tubes float. If you do I hate to tell you but brand new, old, car, truck anything fuel the inlets are already at the deepest most part of the tank. At the very first start it is sucking from the bottom of the tank for the life of the vehicle/motor.

So OP as long as you made it like someone said previously an inch is as good as a mile.

Happy RVing :-)

Modern vehicle electric fuel pumps are submersed in the tank and cooled by the fuel. Excess heat can lead to motor failure over time.

Actually, the pump is cooled by return fuel which bathes the pump. As long as the pump is pumping, it's being cooled.
