The problem with those things is twofold: you can't really tell what's real and what's not, it could be disgruntled former Toyota's employee or even paid commercial for all I know,. The more bizarre and louder the noise the more attention it gets, I'm sure many of you saw Britney's fan video, the last I heard of him he was going to get his own show and there is no easy way to track the person and get the full story behind. As far as fuel pump problems, if there was one I would think we would know about it here already, we have enough members here and it seems every problem encountered with the car would find it's way here, I do not recall any post mention fuel pump at all.
I'm not saying the guy is full of it, I didn't even see the video because of the firewall at my work and I feel sorry for him if he had all those problems but I don't think he or his message is relevant. BTW, if you keep on running your tank dry all the time you could burn fuel pump in any car due to gas not being there to cool it.
