My Lumina car sat parked for about 2 months with very little fuel in it. It was brought to B.C. from Manitoba and was awaiting B.C. safety inspection. It needed a new battery, a lower ball joint, a rad flush and an oil change. When I drove it from one corner of the yard to the other to do the work it ran out of fuel. I pushed it where I needed it to be to do the work and once completed I put 5 gallons of gas into it and haven't been able to get it started. A friend of mine told me that when you run a Lumina out of gas it blows the fuel pump. Since the fuel pump is going to cost me about $150, I thought that I'd get a second opinion. I've run out of fuel in alot of different vehicles, I think that it would be pretty freakin' stupid if running out of fuel caused the fuel pump to go. I hope you can help. Thanks
